Hi Jason, I was indeed. I figured giving it a top speed around 30 m/h would do nicely - don't you think ?? :). Thanks alot for your reply - I figured that the legs and neck would be the two toughest challenges, but making it walk.... - interesting (...) (24 years ago, 6-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Now you're making fun - and DaveE doesn't believe it's possible. Well, I've always started with the walking mechanism and built the detail on to that. If you don't believe me, look here: (URL) why my models aren't up to full minifig scale or (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I'm not offended or insulted. But, you made some pretty disparaging remarks about making a walking AT-AT. Then, you clarified this by saying that you meant a fully operational one, with neatly hidden actuators and a detailed interior, would be (...) (24 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Thinking about this, I realise I'm talking rubbish. The elephant's front legs actually have reversed knees, like I was describing for large dinosaurs. It just kept the front legs straight when walking briskly in the footage (hoho) I was (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)
