Wow. Both are great builds.

@Dan - Yes, that's the one. Great job indeed! Your model is great but I didn't had the jet engines for it. What did you use? Engines from a 1/35 A-10? And I see a lot of Robogear stuff - T-Rex cockpit, legs and a gun? And the rotors are PC fans, right?

Nearly correct, the jet engines are from a 1/72nd scale A-10, you nailed the other bits ok.

Dan, I've just discovered your original thread. And I even posted there,

(it took me 2 years to finish the damm project)! But now that I saw your pics, I'm afraid there's a big difference between our projects. My AT-AT is way bigger than yours, so that's why O mentioned the 1/35 engines. I've used the AT-AT from Revell, one of those snap-kits.

Ah I see. I will keep a look out for the Revell version.

I really like neo-soviet builds. And this is definately a great model. I can't wait to see it weathered, and maybe photographed with some neo-soviet soldiers/minis.

Great work. More photos please.

I'm planning on working on it this weekend. I've just bought some AK Interactive weathering kits and I think they'll do the trick

Just a quick update - I'm still waiting for it to dry before doing more work - with lousy photos as usual:

With some light, you can see the "real" look:

All the panels were picked with a wash of AK-045 Dark Wash For Green Vehicles. Then I covered some spots (corners where the rain would pool when the ship was landed, etc) with wash of AK-046 Light Rust Wash.

Now I just need to add some light dust to the ship, some matt varnish and I'm done. Next weekend I'll take some photos with my Neo-Soviets
