Hello all; I used to sketch alot when I was younger and still have alot of those sketches that I could post here. This is a recent set of concept sketches based on an unused kenner toy design prototype that can be found in the swca.com. I am actually working on a customized hasbro walker that is going to look something like this but with some improvements.

ahhh the atat/i (ion cannon). Always thought that was a weird concept... I mean shouldn't the gun point forward? It should come with a beeping back up alarm so that when it turns around people can get out of the way... I always wondered how the atat driver looked backwards. I guess a camera? lol
anyways, I've seen a couple of action fleet customs of this toy.
If your making a full scale version the cannon included with the potf leia might work well, the sail barge cannon.

I didn't think about that one. I will have to dig it out if I have it. My plan was to use the cannon from the vintage Death Star playset and modify it to look like the one used in the SWCA photo. I believe this is what they used as a base for that gun.

Do you have any sketches of a command ATAT?
I know veers had a regular one, but I only have the one ATAT and I'd really like it to be distinct.

A command ATAT? Do you have a pic of that one, Narceron? I'm not sure that I have seen that one.

lol, you are the artist, I was asking, I have this solitary ATAT that will be used with my snowtrooper army, I either want it to be a "heavy" version, a command version, or siege engine. I know an ATAT is all these things, but like I said, I only have the one, so I want it a little customized, so I thought I'd ask you and spuda what you thought would be appropriate.

Oh, I missunderstood. I thought that you had seen something that I hadn't. On your ATAT, are you thinking a communications platform or heavy artillery or perhaps Recon? Anti aircraft could be cool. Of course, you know what I am going for on mine, at least, in part.

TY, Hawkeye! I had been toying around with trying it ever since I seen that SWCA pic, a year ago. I will post a pic or two in the WIP thread, when I get a chance.

I'm thinking an ATAT custom is a lot harder than one would imagine, lol.

Nah, just big enough of a project for me to blow it off for a while. I still have it mostly built in my head and just need to execute enough of it to where it holds my interest.
