Hey all,

so I went to a flea market and picked up a cheap vintage AT-ST that is dire need of loving. On the grounds that they seem fairly easy to replace if it all goes horribly wrong, I am going to try my hand at restoring this bad boy so he can proudly join my AT-AT.

Some pics to show what I will need to do:






Wow, that last photo turned out rubbish. Oh well.

Obvious issues for me first of all:

- weird orange lines up the centre and around the back, as seen here.


- tatty and missing stickers

- overall dirty state

- bent chin guns

- bent right leg

- slight yellowing of the cab (will see how it looks once the rest is clean)

- missing top gun (not too fussed about this one, but if one falls in my lap I won't say no :lol)

My first step will be securing an equivalent of Magic Marker and seeing what I can get rid of with that.

The end goal will be to get it looking like new!
