  2. Looks Great! Real Nice Work...
  3. Body Mods! After fitting the Legs to the Body, I marked half-moon Sections to be removed from each side, to clear the Front Legs. Then I cut the Sections out and sanded them smooth. I marked a triangular Section the be removed from each Rear Side. Then I cut them off with a cut-off wheel. Here is the rear after the Sections were removed and sanded smooth. More Coming...

  7. Swing Arms! The AT-AT supports for the Legs are similar to Motorcycle Swing Arms. Here they are attached to the AT-AT with the Legs snapped in place. After the AT-AT Underbody is glued to the Underside of the AT-Speeder Body, I plan on adding four BiG Off-Road Shocks! More Coming...
  8. Amazing Plumbing David!
  9. New Legs! I cut four Plastic Strips to fit inside the Legs. I glued a Strip in the slot in the Lower Leg. This will increase the gluing surface and give make it easy to line up the Leg Parts. Here is the AT-AT Long Leg next to the Chopped AT Speeder Leg. I and glued all four Chopped Legs together with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label. More Coming...

  16. Great Start Ken! Any Progress on this one?
  17. Long Legs! After doing a little fitting, I decided that the AT-AT Legs were too long. So I used two strips of 1/2 inch wide tape to define the 1 inch section to be removed. Then I marked the lines to be cut and removed the tape. I used a Cut-Off Wheel to make the cuts. I always cut on the outside of the Line and I never cut over the Line. Next I use a sanding board the clean up the cuts right up to the Line. This was done to all four Legs. More Coming...
  18. Shocking! Almost forgot to replace the Shock Supports on the Feet. Instead of Cutting and Fitting the Original Supports back on the Feet, I made New Supports with Plastic Tubing. More Coming...
