Lifesize AT-ST Scout Walker

Here are some progress pics of another project that is underway for Invasion Belfast in October. The builders are some of the members of our club in Belfast.

Cockpit Head Section
Chin guns not complete yet and side guns still to be attached as you can see.







Building the Ankle Section & attaching to top foot section:







This project should be completed by the end of July. Will post more progress soon.

Oh. My. Goodness.



This is going to be amazing! And finished by end of the month, you're a machine! Did you work in an Imperial factory?

I have had absolute zero input, this is the work of other guys in the club

That's a very good question for which I don't have the answer too, will find out.

Could you post those pics as a reply here??? For some reason, I can't access them on flickr.

Insane!!!! In the best possible way of course!!

Hiya folks i am the mad man that is building the lifesize Scout Walker & Skiff!

It has been very hard work but the outcome definatley makes it all very worth while, thank you all for your great comments.

Any questions please ask me and i will do my best to answer, i will get more pics of the progress very soon. The final stage of the Scout walker build is this week and i hope to start painting this weekend coming.

Wish me luck!

O.K., so YOU are the guy who is making all of our dreams come true!!! Your workmanship is incredible!!! We Need More Pictures!!!!! (after paint of course.)

You should make it so you can sit in the cockpit, and control the laser cannons... make um shoot nerf balls!

Nice work!

That was funny.

Pretty amazing. Maybe a lifesize star destroyer

The reason they arent showing up is because they are CMYK. I saved them down from a different browser and opened them in photohsop. You need to convert them to RGB and re-post them so everyone can see.

Thats why they preview as negatives.

Thanks for the great comments guys, i bought 2 large 45ftx9ft steel containers and thats what i use to store most of the props but im running out of roon fast

That is incredible! Will you posting a step by step tutorial for this monster of a prop?

8O!!!!!

That is too cool !!

A life sized landspeeder over at the RPF, now this. Just pure wicked awesomeness

So, I gotta ask ... who's gonna be the first group to make a life sized AT-AT ?

Nitrooper's a very ambitious guy, I wouldn't put it past him!

That is cool. We have a life-size X-Wing here in Denver at the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum. We were debating an Tie Fighter, but this might be a better idea logistically.

Any of you guys planning to build a victory class stardestroyer anytime soon, if so i would gladly come and help, .

Anyway, very cool

Here in Holland and over at our belgian neighbours we've had some vehicles in the past, a lifesized x-wing, snow speeder, speeder-bike, millennium falcon cockpit, a walking at-at with people manning the legs literarly, well what's next......

A full-scaled destroyer would be so awesome, not to mention an executor .

It so much fun to see what people can make nowadays

Uhhh...just a sec, lemme re-attach the lower part of my jaw...
Oh dear, I think I'm gonna black out.
No, false alarm.
AMAZING.
How long did it take you to get that far?!

I think if somebody were going to make a lifesize destroyer...they'd have to make it outta paper, and it would prob cost millions.
An executor is getting a bit ambitious...as it's 6 freaking KILOMETERS long!
It would take years to make even one destroyer, unless you have a few construction teams handy...

Thats is brilliant!! I'd love to be involved on a job like that!!! I considered building my little boy a snowspeeder out of cardboard sheeting! This completely puts my (small-scale) thinking to shame!! Cant wait to see the finished deal!!

Think you could get it walking?

Funny enough guys i planeed a lifesize Vader Tie-Fighter for this year but had to postpone it due to other projects, i did get as far as building one of the wings as a starting point and i now have it in storage.

I will pick up where i left off later this year and maybe have it ready for Invasion III hopefully.

Im also starting to build a lifesize Turret Cannon from Hoth at moment

Man!!! Can I move next door!!! PLEASE!!!

Anyway, where do you guys do your work???

All my props are made over 3 different factory spaces, depending on what material i am building with at that time.

We build the timber parts in a separate area away form the steel work & PVC parts.

this is amazing dude, it makes me wanna start building stuff

Steve

The day has eventually arrived for me guys......i got the Scout Walker built and its now standing on its own!!!

I am delighted with the finished product and after 5 months of build i am now officially the happiest man on the planet

That thing rocks! now you gotta get it to work!

Could you post them as an attatchment in the forum??? Flickr ain't working for me.

Do friggin want!
Wow man, that's just amazing!
I'm speechless!

Nice, I take it from the poles it can't stand on its own?

Ok so now we need an AT-AT to go with it
Good job man. AWESOME WORK

I'm speechless. WOW. That is truly a dedicated labor of love. Reminds me of the 1:1 replica F4U-1A cockpit I built in my garage 3 gears ago. 8' tall. Will have to post pix. Nice to see Im not the only psycho in the planet =) It looks amazing.

8O!!!!

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

THAT IS IMPRESSIVE !!!!

Do you guys plan on attaching detailed greeblie panels (for lack of a better term)? Like detailed skin panels here and there?

Yes it does stand by itself, the prop support are set into position when being stored to keep pressure off the steel work.

Supports will be removed when on display

O.M.G. !!! it's a dream come true!

cheers to you guys :thumbup

amazing! very nice woodwork!

Holy! That's massive man! Good work! Can you sit in it?

that is incredible. I would think it would be hell moving around and transporting. Would make a great tree house for the kids

How much shipped to the UK? ....Just kidding. This is an incredible piece of work.

i need one

nah you don't too big really. That's just a large piece to take up space .Moving, storing and dealing with it is too big a headache to have it. If it was all metal it would be cool outside to weather slowly, but wood involved it's always an inside thing and waste of space for a few SW conventions to toy shows.

Sorry i have not been updating this sooner folks but here it is in all its glory!

I unveiled this at Invasion Belfast II at start of October.

What do you think the trade in on that thing is?

I mean, it does come with Leather and AM/FM Cassette, right?


Dude, just park that on your front Lawn when the neighbors are having a rowdy party...

Breathtaking!!!

I agree, an AT-AT should be next!

Real nice work man
