Hey guys. I'm not really done with my custom vehicle, but it's in the works. I'm doing a custom At-te but not really customizing it, just weathering it. The at-te I bought had the 6 laser missles missing so the end product will look handicapped. Here some photos to give an idea of how it might turn out, so keep your finger's crossed! It might not be good, but constructive comments are very much appreciated.
I'll keep posting photos to sort of update.

looks great so far. Clint can help you out with replacement laser missiles.
-
That weathering job does look nice. I have missile replacements for the chin missiles on the republic gunship that will work for the atte ones.
Can't wait to see this one finished.
-
Hey! Thanks guys.
Oh, they are the same? Hmmm, how do I get em from you? Like details.
Thanks man! The feeling really sucks that the At-te is incomplete..
-
Not the same but close. Shoot me a PM if you want some and we will work something out.
-
Your weathering looks great! I can't wait to see more.
-
awesome weathering dude! what technique did you use?
-
Very nice!! You using dry brushing or wet and wipe hangarbay method? Was considering doing this to one of my AT-TE's but i only have 1 original one left :( so no more custom AT-TE's. You've got a tough job ahead of you, but looks fantastic so far!!
-
Thanks you all!
I don't really know what method it is, but I mixed the acrylic with water so I get this really cool wearing out effect and I try to have the more sandy image to the muddy one. Like the At-tes on Geonosis.
Yeah, The whole process weathering the At-te is really tedious, but I hope the end result will be worth it.
-
so your basically using a thinned wet approach. Interesting.
-
Hmm. How so is it interesting? lol
I didn't know how to start off, so I tried this method out.
-
Progress Update!
-
it's interesting because I wouldn't have thought of watering down or thinning out the paint for weathering.
BTW, it looks amazing!
-
Looking great man! Watered down paint is how I weather most everything, then a light dry brush. Spud how do you weather stuff if you never watered down the paint?

tapes it to the bottom of his skateboard, how else...
-
wow looks really awesome now. Great job on the weathering.
-
Awesome weathering there bro . It looks like how Master Replicas would do it . The Force is strong with you :) yosab .
-
makes me want to brush mine off and finish it! Excellent work man!
-
I love the weathering effect, it's the same method I used on my Big Falcon, but you seem to have taken things even further...the vehicle looks so realisitc, it looks like a movie prop.
Very well done so far...I'm excited to see how it turns out (I am a bit envious, I'd love to get my hand on one of those vehicles).
-
that looks good dude!

honestly I've never tried to weather a large vehicle, just figures. So all I've ever done is dry brushing.
I'm definately going to keep this method in mind though when I get around to painting my current jedi starfighter project!
-
It's time consuming though, especially if it is big. What not the Millennium Falcon. I'll update soon. Seem to have a problem with the hard to reach places.
And thanks again guys.
-
I use hangarbay's method. Got it right off his youtube video. Such a great tutorial on how to weather. Yours is looking real nice so far. Got anything planned for the interior? And for the hard to reach places, i just use a cotton tip and a finer brush. Hope it helps.
-
That AT-TE looks fantastic!!!! this is giving my weathered Turbo Tank a run for its money!! it looks so life like, kudos to you my friend!!
-
OHHH MAN!!! sweet at-te da weathering is perfect
-
Awesome!!!, really cool weathering!!
-
Looks awesome. Very time consuming and tedious... but it is a really great effect.
Never could find this big guy... at least not at an acceptable price for me....
but I did manage a pair of AT-AP's.... and one of them is just screaming for this treatment.
Look forward to seeing the finished product.
