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!
