If it was half sized his head and feet would be sticking out.
It is smaller than an ATST, yes I did that comparison too.

Here's a thought maybe the AATs are scaled wrong (personnally haven't checked so that is conjecture).

Regardless it is what it is, if you desire a smaller one feel free to make one.

To show I am not unreasonable and because I built a wonderful model that scales well :D here is a picture of 3 sizes. Full, 70% and 50%. 70% works the best imoa. Not going to rescale the original as rescaling bones really sucks not to mention having to do it across 10 or so animations.
The guy is in drive stitting position on the 50%.

Oh and the AAT is at least 2.5 meters shorter than indicated in that repositiory of all info, wookieepedia, it is about 7 meters (7 squares in xsi) and data on the site says it should be 9.75 meters. But hey this is all made up anyway.

The toddler model may look very mind-blowing, but I have a feeling that snipers might make it even more mind-blowing. :P

I do like the look of the 70% too, but at the same time it makes the area one would need for the power and life support equipment visually very small, so it's easy to justify the size as is.

Thanks for the comments.
As I mentioned I am just happy it scales well.
So should I release it then? :wink:

Oh and because I can't seem to keep my mind on one thing at a time I have resurrected something else I had been working on. Just trying to decide how much is for the hires and what will just be lowres.

50% of the size really was a bit of an overshoot. :oops: 70% looks perfect IMO.
