The extra work really paid off.:)

Thank you very much. It was a fun build.

Congratulations, Mike! This is a real gem. :BRAVO: :BRAVO: :BRAVO:

Outstanding job, Mike! :)

The foot rests are cleaned up using coloured paper strips, exactly like the edges of the AT-ST were cleaned up: The steering: Gemini gave me the control graphics. And yes - I had an accident when I was cutting out the laminated parts. I cut into my index finger and almost sliced off a good...

December 22nd - time for the detail parts. The foot rests for the vehicle. Test fit of the skids: Perfect! The skids are attached: The parts for the thruster tips: The front lights: The guns are flat pieces (because of time constraints) but they look the part: Then I was...

Next we revisit the nose piece. I noticed that the first unfold was not good. I separated the front lights from the center block, thinking it would be easier to assemble them that way. However, the back plate where the front lights were supposed to be attached to the nose block proved to be...

Yes, you have enough space for greebling and enhancing the panel lines! ;) Next I tackled the skids. They are assembled ver traditionally. Due to the flatness of them it is easier to insert some corrugated card for stability rather than adding a skeleton: The skid mounts are very stable and...

The hood: The first nose box: Note: The box was heavily altered in the course of assembly, so the final version will look different. And everything loosely put together to see if everything fits: YAY! There is enough space for the trooper and the droid! Success! :)

The seat area including the inner and outer shell: Necessary flaps were added on-the-fly: The droid compartment: Please note the hole in the middle. This was done to enable you to insert the droid without removing the center foot. That way you can put the droid in and out faster and do...

But of course! I especially liked the seat Gemini came up with: Unfortunately I had to cut down the back rest because the trooper wears a grenade on his back. I had to make sure that he was able to sit properly. The overall design did not suffer from that though. :) I wondered how I could...

Then I asked it to display the model without figures on a plain blue background as seen as in vitage toy catalogues: Since the design was set I needed some orthos to work with. Again, Gemini gave me something: Not perfect but enough for me to fire up SketchUp: With the basic shape set...

Last Christmas, I gave this a start, But soon before that day, I gave it away This year, to save me from tears I′ll give it to you as a special... Thank Goodness you did not hear me sing this song. :animated::animated::animated: Alright then. When I prepared a Xmas present for my boss last...

Now it was time to wrap it up (again ;) ). A final view at the fixed areas: I am very pleased with the result. :) The Pegasus left the buildig and found a new home at one of the best otorhinolaryngologists I have ever known. He is a very special person, helped thousands of people with...

The stand for the booklet was made acordingly:

Next was the booklet which was assembled just like in the other thread: The base was custom-made from a cardboard box that had been lying around forever. To prevent it from collapsing I made some rough skeleton parts from corrugated card and added some flaps which gave them the look of...

Thank you! :) Now we are dealing with the wings. No problems with them. However, if you look closely you will notice a few white areas showing through - a few overlays did notcover everything below. One area in particular was pretty disturbing because you could see half of the number print...

However, after putting it into place the biomask looked like a nose again. The mane was carefully curved using a ballpen housing and a thinner rod. The rest of the body parts were assembled according to the top-notch instructions. No problems there. I added several strips of leftover...

Hello fans, the last year was so eventful that I barely had any time for the hobby. However, there were two events which gave me a kick-start. Both came unexpected and at a time when I was totally unprepared for them. I stopped everything else and focused on these projects right away. The first...

What a stunning result!!! :BRAVO: :BRAVO: :BRAVO:
