I've never seen the AT-PT model before, but yours looks great!

One question, the feet appear to be held on only by free-moving
hinges. Does it just balance there? Or are there other ways of keeping
the feet level??
Great model Eric!

Mac and cheese is one thing when you get it in a boot, but its another
thing when you have to eat it. (Don't ask...)

Thanks alot.
If you have "Star Wars The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels" you can see
it on pages 4 + 5.

Actually they are click hinges. The ones on the foot at the click hinge plates
that are included in Anakins pod racer. The ones on the leg are the standard
click hinges. The plate click hinges are great I just wish we had more. I
also wish we had more color variations of the click hinges.
The only free hinge is the one on the knee and that joint is supported by the
spring shock.
