Star Wars Bandai 1/144 scale AT-AT Imperial Walker Build

These are all 1/72 Bandai Y-Wing kits representing Gold Leader, Gold 2, and Gold 3.

They were built out of the box except for some minor alterations for the tiger sprocket on Gold 2 and aftermarket brass gun barrels from Order 66 for the guns of Gold Leader and Gold 3

This is my build of the Bandai 1/72 scale B-Wing starfighter.

I have fiber optics in the cockpit lit by a single LED in the rear of the cockpit.

The cockpit has 2 strips of copper tape (1- positive, 1-ground) which contact 2 other strips of copper tape in the ring holding the cockpit.

The connection allows the cockpit to fully rotate 360 degrees without losing power or twisting up wire.

The 4 engines are lit with 4x 3mm yellow flicker LEDs. I have a small piece of fiber optic split between the 2 ends of the front headlamps, which meet at a single white 0402 SMD LED controlled by a switch on the base.

And finally the wing laser canons have a ...

I finished this one a little differently than I usually do, in that I didn’t try to go for the “ILM” look of the original studio models. I was inspired by another build of this kit that I had seen, and fell in love with it. So tried to mimic more of it’s style.

The build, as always with these Bandai kits, was nothing short of perfection. You can paint almost all of the pieces separately, and then just assemble them at the end. That certainly helps in this case with the areas between the reds and whites.

For the white areas, I used at least 4 different shades of off white. Picking out some of the panels in slightly darker, or yellower tones. Similarly, with the reds, I used 5 different shades on different panels. Then lastly there were at least 4 different grey tones as well.

I used...

Here is the last little diorama I have completed…. the vessel is a Kit Bash, while the pod is scratch build (plastic card and recycled part). The base is resin and the Gundam is from the Bandai 1/144 kit.

As John Cleese would say “..and now for something completely different” –

I bought these 2 Bandai (TINY) 1/72 scale T-70 kits real cheap and I had no idea what to do with them since I’m not a fan a the blue color. I decided to go back to “A New Hope” Red Squadron paint scheme, which may be in a different Galaxy far, far, away…

I took the 2 pilots, R2, R4 from my other Bandai kits lying around and used them instead of Poe/BB-8. I made Red 2 and Red 3. Why, you may ask? I don’t know. There is no lighting on these either as I just wanted to keep it simple. I spent waaaaay to much time on my MPC x-wing build.

I am sorry it’s a bit photo heavy! The lighting in my house is awful so I did a few different photo shoots around the house...

Here is my Bandai 1/48 AT-ST. I found the pose that it comes in out of the box to be rather bland and uninteresting. I’m assuming they made it that way just so that it would stay stable, but I found it didn’t make for a very interesting piece. So after watching Return Of The Jedi a few times in slow motion, I finally realized what movable joints Bandai left out, and I cut the model and re-pinned a joint near the “shoulder” and one at the ankle that allowed me to get this pose.

Thanks for looking.

Here is a diorama that I finished in 2018. I used some parts from a Bandai Gundam, and also parts from armor and ships kits. I also used Evergreen plastics,
cardboard, wood putty and some other stuff laying around. The model includes an LED with a Fiber Optic that illuminates the Bot’s eye using a 9V battery. It won gold prizes at Fantasy – Sci-Fi masterclass in various contests and was featured in articles in modeling magazines.
It is for sale at 300 Euros + registered shipping from Greece.
Thank you and have a nice day.
