Title: Vintage AT-ST re-paint
Post by: Mos-Eisley-Customz on May 31, 2020, 06:23:11 PM
Found a vintage AT-ST on ebay in a sorry state, (click on the picture to see how bad it was, small picture doesn't really show it)  someone had started painting it and just left it  ..i don't really like defiling the real vintage line but this was badly discouloured and already been abused so i picked it up cheap, cleaned and gave it a few coats of sky grey and a bit of weathering, probably going to scale back the grime underneath a bit and add some repo stickers. it came with the wrong gun on top but i kind of like it  :)  ..here is where i am up to

Cool. You really released the inner potential this Walker has. It looks great!

Yeah, that looks great! I like the weathering and agree with you about the top gun - it looks really good.

I still think these old school at-st's still work for our modern collections and dioramas too. I just see it as an older model.

It sure stands up better than the modern ones, that's for sure!  ;D  ..and i agree, it could fit in anywhere as just a different style of walker  ..think i'm going to keep it with my remnant stormtroopers and mandalorian tv show stuff when i finally get around to sorting my shelf's out ..i guess in them times they would use what they can

That sure makes sense to me. I would figure these out of the way places would more likely see these smaller walkers than the larger ones.

100% ..there would probably be junk yards full of old Empire stuff they could fix up  ..i'm really digging this time period, so many possibility's for customs  8)  ..as long as Boba is not a women that is haha
