| | Technic C-3P0: My First Impression
|
|
Yesterday I saw boxes of 8008, the Technic Stormtrooper, at the nearby TRU. I bought one, and when I opened the box, surpringly I found not a Stormtrooper, but a 8007 C-3P0 inside. No matter. I like C-3P0, too. After I built it, sadly I must say the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) Hey All, I don't want to sound rude but why not avoid the "argument" and confusion. I haven't read all of this conversation but according to my blueprints the AT-AT is 15.5 meters equaling 50.8524 feet. Why not just go with 50 feet? Joe (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

1st rule: NEVER go by what you see in the movie!! In one scene, the AT-AT's could easily be 100 M tall, wheras in the scene when the foot steps on luke's snowspeeder, it is significantly smaller (to scale w/ the foot, maybe 10 M tall at the (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

I've seen a lot of really good MOC AT-ATs on the web and I really think Lego could do this if they wanted to. By my estimation, to be minifig scale, it would have to be about 40 studs tall. Now Lego's version wouldn't necessarily have to be this big (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
