Looks great is there an interior or just an empty box?

No interior , due to the need for a complete support system from head to rear of body , this will be extremely heavy !

Wow nice! The details are coming along...

Question what materials are you using? Is it polystyrene sheets or something else?

I've been following this work on FB and I am very impressed.  Did you use a heat gun or something to warm the styrene to get those nice bends? 

I am disappointed to see that there will be no interior.  I also feel like it might be a tad bit undersized, as the cockpit should be able to hold at least 4 drivers and the neck section is supposed to be tall enough for a person to walk through...  That being said, we are all so used to seeing underscaled version of the at-at that it's completely ok!  To undertake such a huge build you'd almost have to make it smaller than it should be just to manage it!

The work you've done so far is impressive.  I also enjoyed seeing pics of your at-st.  I'd like to see more detailed pictures of it if you have them.  Especially of the legs. 

Are you making either of those articulated? Or are they static pieces?

This is exciting.  You have obviously made other miniatures before. 

How tall will it be, when it's completed.

This same customizer also made an awesome AT-ST in the same scale that was off the charts awesome and very accurate.

No heat gun used , no dremel used, mainly xacto blade and super glue, height will be around 5 1/2 ft,no articulation as this will weigh a lot !

Scale is accurate , plenty of room for 4+ in cockpit if I were to have done the interior .

Could you talk more about your process? Are you building from a template or are you doing it by eye? The scale is awesome, it will be one HUGE piece of work when complete..

Would you share your process? So that others could duplicate? (or try at least?) I never liked reinventing the wheel :P

Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?
