Ronald,
I'll build up a leg for you and take some pics. However, to give you some
insight on the designs used on the model:
1. The pieces of the legs are perpendicular to the ground, that is the studs
are facing to the side rather than to the top. By building the legs in this
way they are much stronger.
2. The knees don't bend. I experimented with this unsuccessfully. I'm sure
there is a way to do it, especially with the new Lego hinge joints found on
most Star Wars models.
3. The body itself is built on a frame similar to older technic models. Look
at the directions on brickshelf on the big space shuttle (set #?). Look at
how Lego made the angles for the wings. That's how you can do the AT-AT body
as well to give it an angled looked.
4. Make sure the legs are SECURELY attached to the undercarriage of the body
so they don't fall out if you pick the model up.
Hope that helps.
Brian

| Brian, That would be really awesome! The first thing I'll probably need that info for is an AT-AT walker... I really want to build one of those. Do you know of anyone who has posted DAT files for it? How about yours? Looks really good. Do the legs (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars)
