Well this is my first attempt at 2 things.

1.  A Walker
2.  Freelance space model as an AFOL

This model is loosely based on the Star Wars AT-PT.  I was attempting an AT-PT
and found that it was going to be very hard to make an AT-PT to scale.  I then
decided to use it as inspiration and this is what I have come up with so far.

For the most part I like the general design but I am sure it will change
somewhat over the next couple of weeks as it seems most of my models do.

The interior is fully detailed although I have not taken any interior pictures
so far.  There is an engine in the back and the 2 crew members sit back to
back.  One crew member is the pilot and the other is a gunner/navigator.

I have posted a few more pics for the walker I created.

As I said before this walker turned out to have an unplanned benefit that it is
highly possable.  I have included a couple pictures of it "walking" as well as
one of it stepping up about an inch although it seems to be able to do up to 2
inches without much problem.

There is also a picture of the top of the walker and 2 pictures of the
interior.

Once again let me know what you think

That is one, cool model, Eric. Those click-hinges look like they work real well for that type of thing, it makes it very posable as you mentioned. The number of different ways the legs could be positioned would make for numerous positions the walker (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

(...) I just got a look at this, and it's great! While it is bigger than an AT-PT, it certainly looks a lot like one. Very nice. I have a lot of questions about it, but I'm sure I'll see it at a NELUG meeting before too long, so I'll ask 'em then. (...)
