This model is loosely based on the Star Wars AT-PT.  I was attempting an AT-PT
and found that it was going to be very hard to make an AT-PT to scale.  I then
decided to use it as inspiration and this is what I have come up with so far.

Let me know what you think.

Eric:

I think that this is a fabulous model.  I've bookmarked the sight on my
computer
so that I can draw future inspiration from it.  I really appreciate the
richness
of detail; I particularly like your model for the same reason that the
Snowspeeder is my favorite SW set; It is compact, yet beautifully captures the
detail and construction of the "real" thing.  A lot of my models are too
"busy;"
I admire your ability to create a model that is rich in detail, but does not go
overboard on pieces.

Thanks very much.  Its funny I usually tinker quite a bit with models after the
first version is done but I have not found much to tinker with on this model
:-).  A lot of what I have tried has made it look to "busy" as you say.  I have
changed the color of the "Classic Space guns" I used on one side of the head
from black to dkGray and have tiled the interior for a cleaner look but other
than that I have not made any changes that lasted more than 30 seconds :-).

Its time to start looking for inspiration for another model I think...
