I saw a cross sectional view of one at a local book store and I actually
have had some ideas brewing in my mind about how to make a dynamic turnning
6-legged walker for my mindstorms set (non-articulated, but a way to
dynamically change the throw of the walk pace on one side or the other).
This seems like the perfect thing to try this with.  Unfortunately, I am not
very good at replicating original lines and looks (and actually, the detail
drawings don't make it very obvious how these beasts turn).  Wish Lego would
make a model of it.

Would love to see anyones work on something like this.  Meanwhile, I'm off
to begin working on my 6 legged walker design.  I'll post updates (and
hopefully a video of the prototype walker) soon!

Here is my Half an AT-TE.  I have to support it with stilts to get to the
under side.  It is kind of hard to explain the legs but from my
interpretation of the thing it looks like the likes can go anywhere in a
half a circle off the side of the walker.  They also look like they need to
be adjustable in height as well.

The top mounted cannon is very odd.  Mine in these pics isn't very well
done, just a mock up.

Mine is starting to come out bad for some reason.  But I have gotten the
side hatches and the legs right.  I just now have to work on that flexible
center and the back party--goody!

If you need some reference pics, take a look here:

I have my teaser pics there as well.  It's a very snotty model.

(...) It looks pretty good too.... you got the 'waddle' of the legs down! Looking forward to seeing the rest! Joe Meno (22 years ago, 28-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)
