Awesome Star Wars Model: Abandoned AT-AT Walker

This damaged and abandoned AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport), the four-legged transport and combat vehicle from Star Wars, was the winner in a recent model “wreck” contest held by Starship Modeler.

The 1/32 scale AT-AT was created by scratch modeler Dimitri Kaliviotis.

This entry is a heavily modified ATATRON kit. The ATATRON kit is a garage kit which is not commercially available but a few models have been made over the years. I managed to get hold of one because I was commissioned to put some finishing touches on the prototype model and to make the molds for it, so later I was given one of the castings as a “bonus gift”. However the ATATRON I got was one containing mostly reject cast pieces. So Instead of repairing the reject/miscasts I decided to use those imperfections in my favor.

    The AT-AT’s were introduced in the “Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back” movie from 1980. Thank you all for stopping by!

    Amazing work Dimitri! The weathering and discoloration, combined with the “damaged” body and missing hull plates, make for a remarkably realistic final product.

    I’d love to see a hi-res picture of this.

    Very rough work. Shoddy and appears rushed.

    Awesome!! AT-AT’s are not good for street fight in a city. The enemy could sneak and put a bomb :)
