...it´s done!! :-) This is the first time I have made a papercraft project to give away, and I really hope my friend will like it! I know he loves Star Wars, so fingers crossed! :-)

I love how the box turned out! Looks like it is related to the actual papercraft model! :-) Well, at least in my humble opinion. All that is left is to put the finished build of the AT-ST inside and...

I found two versions of the box (not counting all later-year-reproductions) made by Kenner around the time when "Return of the Jedi" was released, one that might have been released just before the movie came out (where the toy seems to be based on drawings), and one that definitely came out...

I say "almost" because I still have to construct a box from scratch for this Scout Walker toy (with moving head)! :-) So, to do that I need to go online and find pictures of the original box from when this toy was first released! If I am going to make a box, I might as well make an accurate...

... I now have a great gift! :-) The AT-ST is finished! Almost!

Leg parts finished and that means all parts are actually built, what is left is "just" to put them all together. :-) And yes, this took way longer to build than the pictures might indicate, but totally worth it as usual because...

...so this one is pretty much the only picture of a part thats not glued shut! :-) In order to make it look a little bit more like a "real" toy walker, I used a grey pen to make patterns on the inside of the parts that are later visable from certain angles. I want the end result to look extra...

Time to build my second Star Wars papercraft, the AT-ST Scout Walker from "Return of the Jedi"! This build will be a little bit different because in the end it will be a birthday gift for a friend, and that means I also have to construct a proper box for it. :-) Anyway, I started taking photos...

Great model! And you made the whole design?! Very nice!! :-)

Wow! Thats an amazing build! And not a single "glue stain" anyware! Impressive! :-)

To Revell-Fan; Sure, I will certainly do what I can when I get to that, it´s a model I really want to build so I will (with your permission) do what I can to stabilize it! :-) Just two more builds now before I finally get to that precious V-blaster on my list! First an AT-ST Scout Walker for a...

To Rhaven Blaack; Thank you! Always nice to be able to to customize the build a little bit so it will be one of a kind! :-) To Rogerio Silva; Thank you so much!! :-) To Draegor; Thanks! This model is life size! Of course... :-) To Revell-Fan; Thank you very much! :-) Oh, the amazing...

...and the journey towards the LIGHT side is complete! :-)

...so I can show it to my friends! :-) The stand parts were actually part of the build patterns, so I just printed them and glued them all together! Again, it´s great that someone actually took the time to create these patterns for me to find!! With everything done, it´s just a question of...

...it´s done! I have a lightsaber!! :-) On the top part I changed the texture to contain two holes (as seen on the "real" prop), one on the side of the very top part and one on the very top where the beam is supposed to come out. The holes go into the parts, with tubes glued to them from the...

After all the similar parts were finished, it was time to glue them all together. While keeping the "tower" being built in a straight line! The parts that meet are white in this texture-version as the original ones that were all black were going to take to much ink from my printer. I have no...

Then it was time for all the many similar parts! So many! And tricky to get them just right! Time is your friend in these moments of repetition that I love (and when I say "love", I mean "can hardly stand"), as I have to start over as soon as a part is done. NINE times! But it got done! :-)

When it was time to add the six outer bottom parts (wings) to the bottom inner part (the tube itself) I went online to see if there was a specific order to their placement. And it was! I had no idea about this, but apparently the part (wing) with the triangle-shaped ring in it is supposed to...

After that it was time to glue on the small red & green lights (VERY small, got lots of glue on my fingers) and the top part of the ignitor. As I had previously changed the texture to have two small silver screws, there was no need to build them (under the lights) and they were very small so...

Next came the button to switch it on and off. As this was also a piece just to be glued in place I decided to make it moveable as well! I have to be able to turn my lightsaber on, right!?! :-)
