Any chance anyone has a junked at-at lying around or an opening canopy for the head? I will take any potf2 or vintage one that is offered as long as its not highway robbery!
-
Shawn, would it be something that could be cast? I could borrow you mine for that.

Chad I have a few of my own, loose if you believe it, that could be cast, but Clint thinks the material alone would cost 30 bucks to do it. I didn't pay that much for the walker. I am guessing I am gonna have to find another junked walker that has this piece.

Here is what she looks like so far. I will have updated pics when I have her in hand. Poor gal, she needs some help!

i would customize it put some side turrets and leave it open or creat ur own roof ? ( cardboard maybe?) or sometimes u get lucky on ebay
-
I will have to have the canopy. Not bad ideas Alex, but I love the head shape with the canopies intact.
-
She looks better than I thought she would. It could be scratchbuilt, of course.
It would be a moderate pain but not impossible.

Don't tell me that Clint. You know how I get hairbrained idears.

Well, I didn't want to mention it as I already know how much scratchbuilding you already have me penciled in for. I don't need to add wood to the fire, do I?

LOL! I hear you on that and actually posted an update on our original hairbrained idear. You are on fire though guy.

We shall see, buddy. Were we doing one custom walker or two? I was wondering if I needed to get that other gun?

I bought two with the tips as he had two Clint. I am gonna send both. LOL! Two?! Maybe we will see how one works as I don't want to commandiere too much of your time. This will be a back burner project for you though guy. I am not expecting it to be done for a long time. I want you to have fun with it.

Me have fun working on a custom? I guess it could happen. ;D
I won't put a rush on it but will be anxious to get started. You know how that goes.
-
Sure do. This is going to be one for the record books though.
-
I found one on the bay today. Cost more than the walker, but at least it will get me closer to having it complete. Just need chin guns and the bulb cover now.
-
Ok, the chin guns and bulb cover are nowing coming too. I think I have this one pretty much done. The only thing I am not sure about is the trooper door. It is costing me about 30 bucks in replacement parts, but for a total of around 40 bucks, that is not a bad price for a vintage at-at.

Boy, there is no stopping Tamer when he gets his mind set on something. Especially when it involves a walker.
That's not a bad price, buddy.

I was pretty patient on our gun we needed and walker, vintage parts that is, are fairly common on the bay which can lead to some decent shopping. The cockpit cover was from overseas, but it was lower than your casting price!

I couldn't help the casting costs on that one. The mold material is kind of pricey. It would be nice to have that mold to sell repro parts but I'll bet that it would be trickey to work with.

I am telling you, if you could make a mold of that one, it would pay for itself in no time on the bay. That is a common part you see missing on many vintage walkers that are not complete and you just can't find any. I was lucky finding one internationally.

agreed, I need that same part, :(
