On the back of the hull, I added many parts to detail the engine zone. The cooling grid was made from tulle fabric. I'm not very proud of the painting of this model. It was painted by brush, because two years ago I still didn't own an airbrush. I chose a light gray, like the original AT-ST, but now I wish I had painted it with some odd camouflage pattern.
Every edge is dry-brushed, there are some colour washings, and a bit of mud weathering on the feet.
The diorama . First, I designed the diorama to depict an AT-ST in a full throttle rush out of the trees. Due to my laziness and a deadline for a model exhibition where I was supposed to show the finished work, I decided to reduce the huge forest I wanted to a single scratchbuilt tree. This lone tree was built from a plait made of copper wire, covered with wall putty and textured with a metal brush and then completed with pieces of lichen. The metal stormtrooper on the ground was part of a gift from a friend.
