This is yet another kit from the bottom of my stash pile. It's Yay Monsters' ATDP. First seen in the TV show Rebels. It's actually a throw away idea from Empire Strikes Back.
- "There's clearly some influence from concept artist Joe Johnston as well, in our walker. Ours is actually one that Joe had designed for the Episode V scout walker, an abandoned design."
- ―Star Wars Rebels executive producer Dave Filoni
The model is in 1/48 scale and comes in sixteen pieces, with a piece of brass a few pieces of brass tubing. Giving it a once over before clean up, it looks to me that it was 3D printed and then resin cast, as there are some faint grow lines here and there. But for a vehicle, that doesn't bother me so much.
Clean up was fairly straight forward, and then the building started. I have to say that this was the simplest build I've done in a long time. The command crew area almost fell together, and the legs were a nice friction fit.
Gluing the legs should be no problem, and then it's on to painting. But that's next time.
