Star wars legion At st dimensions

[jhonpog]

Hey all wondering if someone can help me please. I've just 3d printed an At st from thingiverse. Not the most accurate thing in the world after looking at some comparison pics.

The legion at st looks like a good representation so if you have one and don't mind doing some measuring could you give me basic dimensions?  Head size, leg lengths, body size. It would be most appreciated and would assist me when I start chopping up my print

Cheers!

Of course mate - let me know if these are any good or if there is a particular part you are trying to size.

The foot is exactly 50mm from toe to heel

The main head/body is 80mm from the back to the front tip




57mm along the forward slop of the head (below)





55mm across the back of the head horizontally (below)...yes the ruler moved when I took the picture, but you get the idea.





Last photo shows you the bit I mean for that last measurement of 55mm

You're awesome Akula thank you!

That's great yeah if you don't mind I'll ask for a few more dimensions in a bit once i've tackled the head. 

Thanks again

Also would you say that At st scales well in legion or too big?  I found this pic which makes it look like the upper end of 1/48th scale.  I wonder this as I'm looking to make a 1/43rd at st and I'm a little OCD with getting things the right size

[AKULA]

Personally I think the official Legion AT-ST is bang on, but worth considering that the legs are adjustable so some shots will be of it in effect on tiptoes, while in others the legs aren't fully extended.

Here's a couple more options to melt your brain.
L to rt. with measurement of the length of front of head from top, diagonally down to bottom (compared to 55mm on legion version.)
Imperial Assault 38mm
WOTC SW Miniatures 39mm
AMT ERTL kit 46mm
Bandai 1/48 model kit 51mm

Assuming the newest Bandai Kit model kit is the most accurate, the Legion kit might actually be close to 1/43.  It's pushing into Shatterpoint (1/40, 40mm) scale!

I'd point out also that the 1/48 Bandai Kit is the best detailed, incredibly articulated, assembles like a gunpla and costs less than the Legion model.

As for the others -except for the WOTC model which just isn't right- they're all pretty good proportionally.  The AMT/ERTL isn't bad but the unfortunate side seam knocks back the accuracy.

I actually like the Imperial Assault model quite allot.  It's slightly heroic proportions and smaller-than-scale (had to fit on the boardgame) size are good for 1/56 gaming.

wow wow nice one eilif thanks for the brain melting pic 

I have been using images of the bandai kit and the legion model for my butchery I mean conversion.

Having seen these images I think I'll try and get my 3d print to close-to-legion size.

The net say at st height is 9.04m which would be about 210mm at 1/43rd scale. As you say it depends how the thing is standing but that is my rough guide

Yeah, I would avoid using height as your guiding light.  A body/head measurement is going to give your much more accurate results.  You don't want to end up with something as tall and small as the WOTC model.

A possible exception might be if you can discern from pictures that the leg position and proportion of the 3D and Legion model are the same.

Yup agreed good call you're right using the head as the comparison for conversion.  The legs on the 3d print are a bit undersized so I'll probably reprint bigger rather than hacking them up.  Quite like the filament printers for this sort of stuff even thought the finishes are not as good

Hey Akula can I trouble you for some more dimensions please?

I'm after a couple of measurements of the chasis/ body of the At st

thanks mate!

Sure. just iet me know which dimensions you want measured 

[jhonpog]

yeah ok that would help I guess 

Total length of the body, plus width would do it I think. My 3d print is not accurate but it'll be accurate enough if I can get the silhouette right

Cheers Akula most appreciated

More measurements from the official SW Legion AT-ST

From the main body:



The measurements are taken from the actual body, but exclude the “flaps” that protrude from it.

So for example, looking at a cross-section of the width ways view of the chassis, you get this measurement, ie the 32mm - but if you measured the “flaps” either side you could add 2mm per side, so 36mm width.



Similarly, if you measure the length to include the angled “flaps/mudguards” at the front and the cables you would end with 65mm rather than 62mm length.



Once you add the legs on the width of the chassis plus legs is more like 80mm



A couple of leg measurements to finish with

Upper leg 65mm



Lower leg 85mm




Total height of the model? Basically whatever you want, because of how you can position the legs makes a real difference (both of these AT-STs are built from the same official SW legion kit)

Hey that's magic Akula thank you! Really appreciate you posting these I will now be able to convert this guy knowing the proportions will come out looking (about) right cheers!

You are welcome mate
