Star Wars: AT-TE - Republic Assault Walker by outofstep

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The All Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE), sometimes called tanks by clone troopers, was an all terrain assault walker developed for the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) during the Clone Wars. The walker was used for numerous tasks including, but not limited to, transporting platoons of clone troopers on the battlefield and attacking enemy installations. AT-TE's rear compartment contained computer hologram communication devices and space for troopers to stand during transportation. On the back end of the machine was a large door that allowed for quick deployment of troopers in a battle. Some versions of the walker were able to scale vertical cliffs, as evidenced in the Battle of Teth. The typical arsenal of an AT-TE included a mass-driver cannon on top along with six other laser cannons placed strategically around the outside of the vehicle.

Scaled to ~28mm. I used an Imperial Guard soldier as a scale reference. Multiplying all the parts by 1.25 should put it at true 28mm scale. The model in the pics is smaller to make sure everything fit and the overall proportion were correct, before I printed a full sized one.
.
All the legs are articulated, same with the cannon. Should be easy to make whatever pose you would like with it.
.
The only changes I need to make, are to make the "ankles" a revolute joint, I'll upload new ankles when I do. I supposed I could make the smaller gun turrets into ball joints, I may or may not do that.

Have fun printing!
