Well, I don't have any of these corner brackets (I missed out on the whole
grey castle theme), and I don't fancy buying 12 Castle Expansion Packs just
for these parts - though your angle arches are a nice touch.
I've just had a thought actually - instead of building the feet upside-down,
I could build them sideways. Wrap forward and inverse slopes around the
foot in an octagon... Don't laugh.
DaveE - that AT-AT is big! I don't have that much grey - and the UK has
only just got SHOP@HOME. I'll have to put some bulk orders in. Detail is
good, but I think the legs are a little fat - they either need to be longer
or thinner, I'm not sure which. Great model though. Far more accurate than
mine! Can you get some photos up of how far you've got with your next one?
