Wow, missed this thread completely. This is great work! I can't wait to see it finished. Excuse me if you've written about this already. Is it going to have LED lighting (or does it already)?

I bow to your greater knowledge of AT-AT physiology, bearing in mind that I have no idea how they feed their young.......

Thanks  :) it does/will have leds. I need to make some brackets to hold them and the batteries though.

With a bit of faffing I’ve used one of the original console prints and it seems to work ok. Seat was scratchbuilt and I’ve placed them on a separate floor plate section so it can be potentially used on other models. I might do a little bit more detail work on it.

The pilot/driver (kindly donated by Dwartist) has had a bit of conversion work to get his hands interacting with the console and he’s separate to ease painting. It’s an Anvil Industries ‘mix and match’ figure I believe.

Cheers  :)

Painted the console and the pilot and primed the top deck but that needs a few panels doing in different colours before it gets weathered.

To help give a sense of scale, its mounted on a 25mm square base.

Really like how this is coming along.
