| | Old AT-AT Moc
|
|
A little over a year ago I started this MOC of an AT-AT using click hinges to help articulate the legs (as I'm sure many others tried). The look of the AT-AT was developing but the click hinges just couldn't handle the weight. Even with 3 click (...) (20 years ago, 25-Sep-04, to lugnet.starwars)

It would be a nice set, but the lasers are the wrong color. This has bugged me ever since the film's first began to be licensed. TIE Fighter laser's are neon green, the Rebel's are red. Even as a kid, I noticed this discrepancy and it has always (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.starwars)
