I.M.P.S. AT-AT Heavy Door Gunner Challenge

Taken from Chapter 2 of I.M.P.S. (Gunners start about 13 minutes in)

Reference Images:




















I would highly recommend watching the video a few times as it is just fantastic and is hands down my favorite fan film of all time!

Reference Project for additional ideas:

Ron Hembling completed this 3.75" Project based off the Heavy Door Gunner a few years ago that, in my opinion, epitomizes this character.  I think all can appreciate this









And another in the 12" Scale that is absolutely one of the finest custom projects I have ever seen. Now I don't know that we can expect this level of detail in the 3.75" Scale, but once again a great reference:

Also remember that this challenge is about the Heavy Gunner only, but including a small dio like an AT-AT Doorway with cannon sure does look good eh?

Joerhyno:
Does it have to be exactly like the pics or can we stray a little, meaning, some of those pics have straps, some don't, can we make our own logo helmet thingie(sorry, I'm not a military expert), or do we have to make one of those exact ones that are in the images? Thanks and already looking at my parts bin( I need to clean up my workshop, DOH).

Tamer:
I hope the designs are really varied. Those are reference images, but I would think there would be slight variations and wide open color schemes and designs.

krztfr:
 I take it only the figures are what matters any extras like dios arent whats being judged?

JDeck:
Cool stuff! I know I say this every time but I may get into this one. I have an idea for a "tropical" version, different from the Hoth/winter that we see. I have most of the parts I need. Actually I have a very rough prototype.
