Hi All,

Here is some WIP pics of Shawns AT-AT as you can see I have used a Tie pilot for the base and shoulder pads from a scout trooper have added the greeblies using 1/6, 1/35 and 1/72 parts. The joints have been super glued and now cover the joints and tehn paint and put him on his dio.

Oh yeah, looking great so far. I am running out of time this morning, but I had to make time to ensure this was posted. Thank you Ron!

Amazing work ron.  Would you care to share the source of the little greeblies you made?   I am considering starting this project in a few days and I will be watching this project closely!

Thanks as always Shawn.

Amazing work ron.  Would you care to share the source of the little greeblies you made?   I am considering starting this project in a few days and I will be watching this project closely! 

Cheers mate and the two little tube items at the front of the helmet are from a 1/72 Geman Panther Tank and the two small parts above the eyes are two 1/72 German canteens cut in half.

The parts on the back are a 1/72 engine hatch from a German Panther tank and part of a 1/35 German radio. The yellow straps are from a 1/6 German Life preserver, the two cylinders on the back of the helmet are 1/35 German gas canisters.

Wonderful stuff, Ron! Can we get a closer shot of the greebly plate you put together for his back?

Thanks Buddy and oic attached.

LOL we both wish but sorry no he will be next to a partial destroyed comms relay.

Hi All,

Have added the tissue paper by attaching it using watered down PVA glue. I will start the painting and weathering tomorrow once the tissue dries.

Wow, what a neat trick to do with the jump suit. Love the canisters on the back too. Can't wait to see how this one finishes up. That dark face doesn't let me see the tusks where the old TIE hose assembly connected to the front of the helmet, but I know that is gonna be killer too. Off to share.

interesting.  I wonder how the tissue technique would work on a figure that still retains it's joints?  Probably wouldn't look nearly as fluid?

Thanks heaps Shawn and I'll have more WIP pics soon.

Cheers mate and honestly I don't think it would work due to the joint area's would start to push it.

That tissue technique is an old model builders trick used to emulate cloth or canvas. You can work folds, wrinkles, and seams into it when it's wet. Very effective and convincing when dry, especially after painting, just not flexible after the watered down glue drys.
I suppose you could skip its coverage at the joints to try to get the best of both worlds

For Rons style of fixed pose custom figures, this is perfect for covering those unsightly joint seams.
Getting anxious to see more
