This is what I call an AT-SC All Terrain Scout Cannon. The basic idea is a mobile E-WEB heavy repeating blaster. Because its extremely impractical to have five plus men carrying such a cumbersome weapon. It has an all-weather night vision macrolense viewport. Its a comfy one seater  with no need for an assistant driver. The only drawback is it would take a highly skilled driver to operate.

Pretty interesting variation. I will be following its progress.

I feel like the main cannon is a bit over the top but I designed it to be long range hence the need for a macrolense viewport. It just seems too long I think I'll cut the suppressor part off not sure though. It was sort of an evolutionary process of adding things on without much forethought.

I got rid of that button that actuates the walking mechanism and added some greebles to cover the hole. Also I added some detail parts and accessories to the back of the turret. Like generators and heating elements since its mainly built for cold environments. Plus the large cannon would need a large generator. This is a picture I took right after I put a coat of black on. I'll probably add more details but this is what I have so far. Played around with the idea of having a droid assisted central computer like an astro droid since its only a one seater but decided against it.

I'm getting to the point where I need to address the legs. My thoughts are I might need to sacrifice articulation for strength and stability. Plus the legs and feet look goofy. The footpads I'll make similar to the AT-AT.

I can't fault your logic. Looking forward to seeing this finished off.

I ran into a slight problem with the legs. I gutted the entire walking mechanism so I have to rebuild and reinforce them I may have to make the legs static with no articulation.

I like what you have done so far to the walker and the BFG is a nice touch, I look forward to seeing this project complete.

Another interesting idea! I agree the front gun would look better without the suppressor.

I just hope I can take the suppressor off without ruining the rest. I used a copper tube for the barrel and the suppressor is glued around it. Maybe I can bust up the suppressor  use my tube cutter.

The AT-SC mobile heavy repeating blaster is not quite finished. Its still in its early stages. I want to ajust the stance add a few minor details then paint it. I am eager to finish because I have another cool vehicle under my hat.

I still don't like those foot pads. They remind me of one of those puppies with the big goofy feet. I think I might figure out a way to modify them to look more AT-AT like.

I like the look of this design and it will look great once you have painted it.

Great looking AT-ST and I love the gun mods!
