discussion AT-ST Scout Walker

[Guest]

So a brief little update as model time has been hard to find recently.

The drive engine is non existent on the model, View attachment 91188


so I scratch built one from some styrene and wire mesh I have (frying pan splash guard)

View attachment 91189


I decided to open/cut out the Command Viewports and then use a bit more styrene to make open Command Viewport shutters.

After looking over the model I felt that a few greebles here and there may add a bit more texture to the model, so with a few cut-off bits of styrene, I placed a few greebles here and there and place a thin armour skin in the side of the Command Section.

And that's it so far. May stick a few more greebles on here and there. Few sprays of paint etc.

So after a few weeks of no modelling time and a birthday party thrown to boot...I managed to get a little progress done. Just a bit of painting with the Iwata Neo that I purchased from SMS...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wow!!!!!

After using my cheapo Chinese AB, this Neo is soooooooo smooth.

Anyway, primed the model again, gave it a few panel pre-shading lines, and then a light coat of Vallejo Light Grey.View attachment 91937

So...the Walker is now 99.9% finished. I just haven't start on the base.

I have all the bits, just need to start on it.

But the model itself is well worth spending a bit of time on.View attachment 92469
