Yes and no, depending on how many copies are needed.
The Master Builder I talked to at Legoland CA explained that when doing a
one-of-a-kind model, the MB would complete it, and then hand it off to
specialists that are experts at copying - they'd use the original to make
the glued copy.
However, if it were a vehicle that they needed multiple copies of, they'd
hand it off to people that made blueprints.
I would guess that the AT-AT did NOT go the blueprint route.
