Wow ! I've toyed around with the idea of doing this forever ! Awesome potential for a project like this. Too bad we didn't have a travel fund at TDH so that members can get together once a month or something and work on things like this as a group project ! Hm? I suppose that would be considered a field trip ! 
Good luck to you ! Seriously interested in how you proceed with this

If it's going to be stationary, with a moving turret/head, that may be feasible. I'd suggest that you load the feet down with weight to counter-balance the top. The lower the center of gravity, the more stable it will be whether moving or stationary. I'd look at using the lightest materials for the top half (aluminum, plastics, fiberglass) etc.
Just an idea here. You may want to contact a local technical school or engineering dept. at a college and enlist the aid of some teachers and students. Nothing beats hands-on experience.
Can you imagine being a student, college, technical or even high school, and working on this project? Imagine putting THAT on a resume! :cheers

a guy down the street from my cousin in texas built a 20 foot model back in the day. made completely out of junkyard parts.
even a 20 foot model was a sight to see. i'd hate to have to go up against one

I totally agree on light weight products. I was thinking solid feet, maybe using the weights for hanging scaffolding, the stuff they clean skyscarper windows with. The company I work for has a bunch of those weights that they have to replace every few years and if not steel then maybe lead for weight in the feet. It can be molding when you melt it. My cousin happens to be in trade school for drafting so when I told him about it he was all excited. I def have people with able skills on hand, its just getting the time and money to make it work. Unfortunatly we are getting a lot of snow so once spring breaks I'm going to the junkyard and scouting parts and such. I'll keep all posted as soon as this gigantic overtalking begins.

I came across these photos at Rebelscum fourm and thought it might help in your project with trying to get an idea of scale.Yes,I know it is photos of AT-AT not an AT-ST that you are planning.
Maybe it will give inspiration that it can be built.
I hoped I sized them ok.It was hard to judge so you can get a good look.If you large sized photos I can send them.
Hope this helps

As cool as it is that they built a large version of an AT-AT at MGM, it is however, not the actual size or correct proportions. We know that they at least built a full size AT-ST for ROTJ
