At the table: 2x4 put the cover back with an AT-AT

Two things: The title sucks, I know. And if you wait for me to wow!!, keep on bricking !!, amazing !!, best MOC ever !!, please give instructions !!, etc ... don't read what follows, there is flickr for that ...

This MOC is exceptional in my eyes, for several reasons. First of all, the amount of work involved is impressive. 2x4 didn't go with the back of the spoon. Then the presentation: She is intelligent and that changes everything. The base is very successful and puts the machine in its preferred environment: Hoth's snow. The presence of Luke's minifigure gives an idea of ​​the overall scale and again it's very ingenious. This makes it possible to immediately grasp the size of this MOC and at a glance.

But what impresses me the most is the armored aspect of this AT-AT. The outer surface in tiles is cleverly designed for a rendering that exudes the strength and fire resistance of rebel Snowspeeders. The angles are faithful to the model of the film except perhaps at the level of the main cabin on the body. For the rest, 2x4 offers here a well finished machine which exudes solidity thanks to the finish in SNOT. I had made some very personal reservations about the 2x4 X-Wing and I have to admit that this time I am really impressed with his work. The AT-AT is a device that we often have the impression of having seen too much in LEGO, rightly or wrongly. But this version deserves a lot of attention when visiting 2x4's flickr gallery which presents it to you from all angles with several close-up views.
