jarkmodels Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 This is a “what if” I just finished with an AT-ST from Bandai in 1/48th scale. To me it’s quite clear the influences used to create the Empire aesthetic in the Star Wars universe, so instead of doing it with the usual light grey scheme as seen in the Forest Moon of Endor, I thought to be more interesting to run my imagination free and place it in the eastern front during the second world war. I used some Tamiya 1/48th German Infantry figures and I made this simple vignette with some snow melting and mud. The Bandai kit is really detailed and fit perfectly without the need of glue so I totally recommend it!. To give it a WWII look I give a cast steel texture to the armour plates and I added some big bolts. Colour use was panzer grey from Tamiya and a combination of oil paints from MIG and Abteilung 502 to create the weathering. Cheers and I hope you guys like it! Jorge “Somewhere in the Eastern Front” as usual, any comments are welcome and thanks for looking! 29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky boy Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Great work! I love it. Somehow mainly down down to your modelling skills it doesn’t look out of place in that scenario. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Thank you James!...to me the AT-ST is very panzer looking, add german dunkelgrau and the iron cross and you are almost done! 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
