Wow… it has been quite a while since I did one of these, and this is a piece I had promised I would do after the Mega AT-AT was built, but found little time to do so. However… I was restless the other night and finally made it happen! LOL. I apologize if it is [...]

When Marc Elkins built the two Mega Scale AT-AT’s (SEEN HERE) for both the Kuhn Global/Modeler Magic Collection, and the Michael Plante Collection, he deliberately made them different from each other so that each stood out with it’s own presence!
