Maybe it was the famous Banksy Dolk AT-AT wall painting that inspired someone to do it the other way around, and instead decorate a Hasbro model of the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer with graffiti.

<p>Maybe it was the famous <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashland/295777390/"><s>Banksy</s> Dolk AT-AT</a> wall painting that inspired someone to do it the other way around, and instead decorate a Hasbro model of the <em>All Terrain Tactical Enforcer</em> with graffiti.</p>

<p><em>Very cool but I think the grafitti-AT-AT you are referring to above actually was painted by the norwegian artist Dolk. Not Banksy. :)</em></p>

<p>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 &#8220;wreck&#8221; contest held by Starship Modeler.</p>
<p><span id="more-1000"></span></p>
<p>The <a href="http://starshipmodeler.com/contest/kit_16.htm">1/32 scale AT-AT</a> was created by scratch modeler Dimitri Kaliviotis.</p>
<blockquote><p>
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.

<p><strong>Update</strong><br />
Here&#8217;s a video clip of the walking LEGO AT-AT in action:<br />

<p><strong><a href="http://shop.starwars.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=414298;category_id=336;pcid1=;pcid2=">Yoda vs. Palpatine ARTFX Statue</a></strong><br />
Last but not least we have this amazing ARTFX statue, standing almost 11 inches tall.  Available for pre-order at the official Star Wars shop. The product starts shipping March 2008 and costs $175.</p>
<blockquote><p>
This gigantic ARTFX Statue measures over 15 inches long, and almost 11 inches tall (1/7th scale), with both of the figures being independent of the base, allowing you to position the characters as you like within the Senate diorama base. The Force Lightning is cast in a dynamic, translucent material, and is also removable (via optional hands) for a variety of posing options. Spectacularly detailed, from the wrinkles on the future Emperor&#8217;s face, to the texture pattern on Yoda&#8217;s robe, this piece stands as a fitting monument to two of the most powerful wielders of the Force.</p>
<p>With its large scale and impeccable paint applications, this ARTFX Statue is a snap-fit kit that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill. Kotobukiya&#8217;s ARTFX Series continues to produce some of the best Star Wars collectibles in the galaxy.
