Chicken Walker

Originally, I tried to build an AT-AT from some old instructions of my brother's, but that proved incredibly tedious. After two days worth of sifting through tons of legos searching for (and not finding) specific pieces, I decided to build the smaller, even more precarious, two legged battle vehicle used by the evil empire. I tried to build this so that it moves just like the ones in the movie. The head can turn side to side and nod up and down. All the leg joints bend, and the guns can aim, too.

There's a storm trooper at the controls.







For some reason, I like this photo. It betrays the unstable nature of this design. No wonder the rebels beat the Empire! So in case having a lego blog was not enough to prove that I'm a total geek, now you know.
