Fantastic looking main model.  I am pleased to see how this one turned out.

Neat new picture from the rear with the speeder bike too.

Am I the only one who doesn't remember seeing speeder bikes during the Hoth
battle scenes?  I could be wrong, but didn't they first appear in Jedi?

Regardless... I think a really neat idea would have been to include a rebel
snow speeder along with the AT-AT.  The model has already been designed and
no new parts would be needed.  As well, the instructions are already
documented.  It's not a huge model (just by itself) so it wouldn't have
added greatly to the overall size of this set.  And by including it, you
would really be able to recreate the Hoth battle scenes.

Just my two cents,
Allan B.
