LIFE ON TWO LEGS

*tribute to RupaJiwa

The past few weeks has been bizarre to me. I seem to be losing a number of 'friends'. Not a big number, mind you. Just a couple of them, but still, it kinda got to me. Futhermore, I'm starting to get insecured with my life. Luckily, I got my passion, and with it, my latest project, Hasbro's Star Wars AT-ST custom. 
  When I got it, both the legs are snapped, but otherwise, quite brand new. I'm still toying with the idea of doing a full wreckage scene, but first, I must detail up the fucker. Hasbro has done quite a good job with the mold. Quite accurately produced, compared to the previous AT-ST version which looked more like a chicken. The only problem with this one is the joints which can be wobbly at times. 


So, I started by attaching the legs back to the 'hips'. This means there will be limitations to the articulation, but a more stable pose.
  Then comes the detailing parts, Added the side wall using a 3mm acrylic board (which was a bitch to glue), I kitbashed most of them from my old PG Gundam Astray Red Frame. I changed the plastic railing on the crown to coper rod. 
When I fitted the back again, the fucker was kinda bowing down, and that doesn't look cool at all..Gotta fix this soon..

ANOTHER TRY

I got myself another AAT, this time a model kit by ERTL/AMT scaled 1/32 which happens to be the exact size of the Hasbro AAT! I still hate my day job, and it's affecting my mood to type and photograph the W.I.P of this kit. So here it is, in sequence, side by side with my custom Hasbro AAT.

TIME TO MOVE ON?

I'm really starting to hate my fucking day job. For real...
