Cheers buddy, I have added more Water Effects to the fire so I'm just waiting for that to dry clear before I do more to that. The AT-AT has been weathered and I need to attach it to the base so hopefully I'll get pics up tonight.

Hi All,

On the last legs of the AT-AT dio build. I have weathered the AT-AT head by giving it a few washes of matt black and once dry I used pastel chalks to give the plating areas more depth.

I have also added weapons damage and will give crabon scouring marks using pastel chalks. I have glued the head down to the base and will start on the ground work and snow tomorrow

Hi All,

I have added the snow by watering down spakfilla until it is like a pancake consistency and then applied it to the base.

The snow on the AT-AT was done using a small brush and then using a almost dried out baby wipe and dabbing into the spakfilla and then dabbing it over the AT-AT head.

Hi All,

The AT-AT Driver is now repainted and weathered, I used Vallejo and Army Painter paints to do the painting and weathering and again Hasbro have done an awesome job on the sculpting it just needed a nice paint job to bring out the details.

I have given the armour, pipes, leg harness and jumpsuit different gerys and washes but I don't think they came out that great in the pics. I have done a compasrion shot next to an unpainted AT-AT driver.

I am now 95% done on this dio and just need to add a little more snow to the base and smoke to the flames.

Ron, I am just speechless. Just when I think it can't get any better you make it that way.

I am sharing his FB Galleries here too so you can see how cool this all is:

Epic Ron. It will be hard for you to top this one. If anyone can prove me wrong it seems to be you, but it is easily on the top of the greatest custom projects I have ever seen. All time.

Off to share.

Ron, before you start the next project already, let me just comment on this one very quick:

I am generally amazed how many customers build their own 1/12 scale vehicles for their 6" figures...some are so massive they wouldn't even fit into my room...so you had a great idea to just go with the AT-AT's head! The overall build and weathering are superb as always! It looks so real! The AT-AT Driver looks so awesome compared to Hasbro's original release! The diorama looks just excellent and the head is just stunning. The Driver alomost looks only like a "side dish" next to this titbit! Awesome diorama mate and the snow and lighting effects are beyond awesome!

If you allow, I post some pictures here. I saw these  AT-AT models at two locations here in Germany:

RebelCon V 2014, Herne, NRW, Germany

1/12 scale AT-AT - about 1,80 m / 6' tall




Filmfigurenausstellung, Mönchengladbach, NRW, Germany

1/6 scale Hoth Diorama: AT-AT about 5 m / ~17' tall









I can remove these pics any time if you want me to.
