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 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.

id like the open-topped mini please!

Looks great at 70%

I agree 70% looks the best.

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

I like 70% the best, great job.

^Ditto^ I like 70% also

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.

Me too!

The 70% one is more canon , i like the three , good job my friend .

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

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.

Please do kind sir.

the otana! now that has been quite a while.....
why did you make the top and the cylinders at the side blocky, arent they supposed to be round?

Playing.


Trying out different things and looks.

Like the window thing though?

I like it, and the sides look pretty good to me.

love the windows!
it reminds me a bit of lego with the blocky cylinders

HAZOP, it isnt ready yet: Wires belong to the newer version BTW.

I am working on the UVs right now, it will be ready for tomorrow.

Looks pretty cool.

Security:

Your model is awesome Fragme! .
Labj, you made impressive progress in modeling , i remember when you said me that you didn't knew how to model at all. (Like me before )

Great job guys .

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