SCALE MODEL NEWS

WE FEATURED THE BANDAI AT-ST WALKER in July 2018. Here it is again, with a video to show you the way this delightful kit goes together. SMN report: Bandai does a good job with the AT-ST ( header, below ) and other Star Wars kits. Moulding is top-class, and the component fit is second to none. We draw the line at Bandai's attempt at a laser blast ( below ). It's moulded in transparent red, but lacks realism, and is better left off. On the other hand, it's your choice! Here's the excellent build video ( below ) that shows every detail of an out-of-the-box assembly. Click here for info on the AT-ST at SMN. Click here for more Star Wars in general.

WE HAVE JUST STARTED BUILDING this 1:48 scale Bandai Star Wars walker, and what a delightful kit it's proving to be. SMN report: There'll be a full build update soon, but we thought these shots of the various components would be interesting, as well as Bandai's own pictures of the assembled machine. And then there are the figures, and the multi-coloured mouldings. All very high-end indeed, especially the nice sculpting of everyone's favourite Wookee. We'll probably finish our AT-ST in colourful post-Imperium markings. Perhaps an AT-ST suitable for the off-world tourist market. Keep looking and you should find out in times to come. And here are pictures direct from Bandai that show this 1:48 kit fully assembled. Nice stuff, though we'd leave off the weird dull red 'laser' beams.
