She's Got BiG Feet!
After Reducing the Height and Width, and moving the Toes Forward the Feet Still Look Too BiG! So I painted them Flat Black. That seemed to Work! The Feet look about the right size now.

A Little Red...
I added some Red Accents with Water Based Acrylic Paint.
The Water Based Paint makes painting details pretty easy. If you make a mistake you can wipe it off with a wet Q-Tip.

Silver!
I applied a coat of Flat White Primer over all of the parts. After the Primer dried I masked off the areas on the parts that will remain Flat White.
Here are most of the parts after a couple coats of Tamiya Silver Leaf.

Leg Action!
I noticed a photo on the AT-AT Box that looked like it was from the movie. It showed the AT-AT walking with the Legs that were much more animated than the AT-AT Model. I started to pose the AT Speeder Legs and I was surprised to see that the Moveable Legs had very little movement.
So I decided to cut out the groove about 1/4 inch more to increase the Leg Action. (This would be much easier to do before the Legs are glued together.)
Here is the Leg after modification to show the increased movement.
Here is a mock-up showing the way I plan to display the AT-Speeder Legs. The front left Leg will probably be stepping on a rock.

More Gun Greebles!
I found these Guns in the AT-AT Kit. They look like they would add some Nice Detail to the Legs.
Here is one of the Legs with a Gun Half glued in place.
Here is the front and back of the Legs as they are now...
