Completed Star Wars AT-ST

[Guest]

Hey guys, here's my completed AT-ST. This was another cheap kit I got (pretty old + snap together = $15), but the detail seemed pretty good for an older kit. I made the base with some real branches from the yard, static grass and some potting moss for plants. I still glued most of it together and it required a good deal of filling on the hull sides.

I used tamiya acrylics for the paint, did some enamel washes, chalk pastel wash, used a rotary tool for the battle damage, and used some modelling clay around the neck joint to beef that up a bit.

I just got some AK Interactive weathering items and tried them out. I was pretty happy with the streaking grime (pretty sure that's what i used). I used that for oily/grime stains coming out of the guns/cannons on the sides and some grime in the back. I tried some pigments on the feet but most of it blew off when i put the final flat clear on. i still liked the end results of the pigments though.

Hope you all like it.

YES YES and YES again. So cool. Love the diorama. I've got one of these snap kits in my "to do" box. 5*****

thanks andrew. it's a good kit despite being so basic. i wanted to do a dio with the 2 logs coming in on ropes to crush it on the sides but there's too much going on at home right now so that would've taken forever.

good luck with yours.

Jim that came out killer! I love the blast scar on the front and the paint work is really dimensional giving lots of depth ! Very nicely done Sir! 5 star effort for sure. Nice base too simple and effective,cheers Trey

Wow this is awesome, id love to slap some balkencruz on the side of this =p

A few drops of thinner applied over the pigments (i use an eyedropper) will keep them in place.

I love this.
