Gekko_1 Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Incorporating a bit more weathering into this one to give me a better idea of how it may look on the model. Richard.

pylwagl Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi all Have just stumbled across this thread. I'm loving the artwork and camo ideas. For my tuppence, I suggest a scheme based on the British Berlin Brigade camo. This was essentially a pattern of rectangles in brown, green and white. Looked terrific and apparently was quite effective in urban areas. I did it on this Ork looted walker - looks a bit like a baby AT-ST :) cheers Stu 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gekko_1 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 I see I have a lot of links I need to fix-up! Thanks Photobucket! I'll get to them, in time. In the mean time here's the first for 2022! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Excellent job on the 'Walker'! I remember the first time I saw one whilst watching 'The Empire Strikes Back' when it first came out - I thought it was about the coolest machine/weapon I'd ever seen. One thing I've never quite understood about most science-fiction is this, though - why do they assume that any space force will apparently spring from the 'Navy'? Isn't it more logical to assume that it will come from some sort of 'Air Force'? Just something I've never quite understood nor agreed with.

They have helms not cockpits they also have engine rooms and hangar bays. They belong to fleets not a specific space force. The terminology lends itself to a Naval origin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember that day, I was about 15, my jaw dropped! I'd never seen until then, nor since, a science fiction based fighting machine as cool looking as the AT-AT! 😍 As for "Navy" I'm not sure. I guess they deploy from a space-ship so the Naval theme is already there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) I suspect you're both correct about the 'Naval' aspect of having ships, just in space. But is still seems to me that any space force would grow out of an air force, so should keep the same terminology. But let's not forget that naval terminology is still present with aircraft, such as port and starboard, amidship, bulkheads, galleys, fore and aft, etc. And I suppose if you went from flying aircraft carriers (not as looney as it sounds - Robert Bartini, the Italian-Soviet aircraft designer actually proposed something like this*), it's just a step up (way up!) to having interstellar 'aircraft carriers' or spaceships. Best Regards, Jason *And let's not forget the USS Akron and Macon. Edited January 27, 2022 by Learstang Small change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I personally like the color combination on the first one but the spot size on this one. Noticed the inside leg is not camouflaged but the inside foot is, is that intentional? Since the start of this thread we have a new vehicle in the family come on board, the AT-M6. Do we think the camo options for the AT-AT will transfer well to the larger canvas? https://www.deviantart.com/emigepa/art/AT-Collection-715343559 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So eventually a profile of the AT-M6 will appear here too! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank1812 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I have two Bandai kits in progress, just haven’t picked an existing camo scheme. I do like the newest scheme. On another site, I helped start a alternative SW build using this thread as inspiration. 👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekko_1 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 I am currently updating my images starting at page 1. Getting rid of the old Photobucket images and also updating the graphic design of my original posts. They will still have 'the look' of the originals, but I may re-imagine the colours of some of them and add the graphic design elements of 2022 into the 2015+ images. Just for a bit of fun I'm also going to be adding classic Star Wars vehicles/ships etc into the backgrounds as faded silhouettes The first two AT-ST's have been completed. ✔️ Cheers Richard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekko_1 Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 My updating of original images starting at Page 1 is progressing well. 23 AT-ST's have been re-imagined/updated so far. Because of Adobe's ridiculous subscription service I can no longer use Photoshop, so am now un-learning Photoshop and learning all about Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer to do the updated illustrations. Hopefully you are all enjoying the chipping, scratches, dust and leaks! Cheers Richard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gekko_1 Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 OK, all 43 of the AT-ST profiles have now been updated! Next I'll either start on the AT-AT's or do some more AT-ST's? I've also got to look into getting an AT-M6 Gorilla Walker profile going too at some point. Cheers Richard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Richard have you ever done an AT-DP the All Terrain-Defense Pod from Rebels ? Its seems to be a bit larger than an AT-ST with a Single large main gun. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/All_Terrain_Defense_Pod My next AT-ST build Is going to be modified to one of these. Probably with Desert Camouflage of some sort ? Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
