Star Wars Rebel ATRT

 Something Else I have been working on in July is this ATRT or All Terrain Recon Transport from the Star Wars Legion Core set. I am quite pleased to finish this model as this means I have painted all the Rebel half of the core set. This comes with 3 weapon options but in game terms only what card you have equipped matters as its not WYSIWYG. I did try to magnetise it but failed miserably and gave up after the second attempt. I have a second one which I bought really cheap off ebay and I am going to try and magnetise this one as well but will do it during assembly as my attempt on the first one was thwarted by gluing in the forward shield (my impatience in waiting for the magnets to arrive I assembled it thinking it would be quite easy to do!) I think I will have better success doing it this time around but 

I really enjoyed doing this one I got it started I did a bit of experimentation with only washing creases and using drybrushing, sponges to create weathering. The bases are still all basic as I am not sure exactly how I want to

    1. Thanks I kind of just followed the box art as a rough guide as there aren't many pics of them tbh.

    1. Cheers Suber! I want an AA5 Speeder Truck but a bit scared of painting one of those though

  6. It's a great looking model and no doubt your brushwork is very close to the film version.
    (I lost track of Star Wars stuff after the first three films)

    1. Hi Joe. Thanks very much. I can't recall seeing these in the movies. I think this one is from one of the Battlefront Games. I know some stuff is based on the Cartoon series like Rebels or The Clone Wars.

  7. Great work on the ATRT, and on the figure too which I assume you finished earlier.

    1. Thanks very much. Yeah I painted the pilot separately and added him on when finished. They are quite flexible and was quite easy todo. I have a second to do but the pilot has both hand on the steering.
