I think the scale of this model falls somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 minifig scale and probably best falls into the category of midi-scale. You can have them standing as a display on a shelf, or carefully move the legs so they appear to be walking or even falling! https://youtu.be/wTH3Y0FFVPc Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Building a Walking LEGO AT-TE (https://youtu.be/wTH3Y0FFVPc)

A neurochemical explanation even undergirds the pro-social benefits of shared, ritualistic pain. During these high arousal states, humans are flooded with all kinds of intense neurotransmitters and hormones, including dopamine, oxytocin, vasopressin and serotonin. Some of these are linked to the creation of social trust and even love—oxytocin and vasopressin have both been popularly (and somewhat myopically) labelled “love” or “cuddle” hormones. Oxytocin is associated with inducing feelings of trust in those around you, reducing fear, and increasing empathy, and serotonin is implicated in reducing anxiety. Meanwhile, dopamine, which is linked with the brain’s management of reward and risk, also makes you feel good about the whole thing. All of this means that evolutionarily, shared painful experiences can stimulate bonding and group cohesion, and create meaning for people.

Officially the names are the All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) and All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST). To the uninitiated, they may seem the same, but they are very different. This is an update to the model I originally designed in 2015. I finally sat down to put together building instructions for it, and took the opportunity to update the design while I was at it. The core walking frame is essentially the same as the original, but the release of some new pieces allowed me to improve the exterior design of the model. The AT-AT Walker is the smallest one yet, but it’s still huge! And it fits with the 2009 style updates that were released. It practically looks related to the AT-ST in 8038! It’s not the cheapest, but it’s better value than most of the bigger sets, and it has a good selection of minifigures that would rival most of them. In 2006, Scott Bell earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest-ever barefoot walk over hot coals—250 feet of glowing hot embers, at 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Eight months later, he smashed that record with another fire-walk, this time 326 feet.

Some of my favorite things are opening the hatch revealing the detailed minifigure interior,and of course all the minifgs. A full kit for this model is also available on MOCHUB, which includes the instructions and all the pieces needed to build it. Now, he runs an events company in the United Kingdom. guiding other people over hot coals and the occasional bed of broken glass as part of corporate team-building exercises and charity events. But walking just six-and-a-half feet over 2,000 Lego pieces? Bell usually gets someone else on his team to do it.

I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos and seeing your models. I was wondering if you could make a walking AT-AT walker mechanism. I would really appreciate it. I was also wondering if every thing is all right because it’s been over 3 months since you’ve posted your last video. I would really appreciate if you could respond shortly. So why does Lego walking hurt where fire and glass walking don’t? The science of physics and anatomy offer some clues. Chewie is pretty much essential to any Star Wars set – he looks great here too. And the two pilots are both excellent figures. TheSnowtrooper has some lovely printing on his legs, and Hoth Lukeis another figure with brilliant leg printing. Finally, we have Darth Vader himself. He doesn’t say anything (as far as I know!) But he looks great. He has a newish headpiece which I think is an improvement on the old one, and his body print is excellent too. All in all I really like LEGO construction sets because they have so many creative building measures. With these sets, you can have them in many different scenes because they feature posable legs. https://youtu.be/WvIC6gjKIMw Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Star Wars Trench Run Kinetic Sculpture (https://youtu.be/WvIC6gjKIMw)

Last week, I was in St. Louis for the FIRST Championships, showing off some robots in the LEGO Education booth. Unrelated to the robotics event, they had a table full of white parts, mostly from the Architecture Studio set, for people to build with. It’s a very interesting exercise to build using a single colour. You focus a lot more on the shapes of what you are creating, using texture to add detail instead of colour differences. I definitely wandered over to that table whenever I had a chance. Who can resist a table full of pieces? One model that came out of it was a micro scale Millennium Falcon. It wasn’t very accurate to the ‘real’ thing, as there was a limited selection of parts, but upon returning home I thought I would try to make a more accurate version at the same scale.But there’s another question about why Lego walks are becoming popular: Why would anyone want to subject themselves to walking on sharp, pointy bits of plastic? Why would we do something so painful? Well, one answer is that it makes us better people. Update March 27, 2020: Building instructions for this model are now available! You can find them in this post: Trench Run Pursuit Instructions. I only sell original LEGO minifigures that have been obtained new by me in original boxes, or from reputable sources.

There have been quite a few different LEGO At-at Walker sets released over the years. Let’s take a look at them all. Just when you thought mini sets were the only way to go, this midi-scale set comes to challenge your assumptions! The LEGO 20018-1 AT-AT Walker set is perfect for anyone who loves a good mini set but wants something with a little more… oomph. This set comes with all the features you love in a mini set – intricate design, movable parts, and durability – but on a larger scale that will have you marveling at the detail. Unfortunately, LEGO Ideas no longer accepts Star Wars related submissions, so I can’t add this as part of the Pursuit of Flight project, but I hope that this model gives both you, and LEGO, an idea of what is possible with it. If you’d like to see something like this become an official set, you can add your support to the Pursuit of Flight project here: ideas.lego.com There is often confusion between At-at and At-st walkers, as they both appear in the LEGO Star Wars universe. However, there are some key differences between them. Out of the three that I do on a regular basis, it’s before I step on the Lego that I think ‘Oh, this is going to be a bit uncomfortable,’” he says, laughing.It’s been on my todo list for a while to see what kind of maze I could design by combining the parts of another LEGO set with the 21305 Maze set. I finally decided to see what I could come up with using 75099 Rey’s Speeder. The AT-ST is a two-man walker that served the Imperial side in the Galactic Civil War. It is lightly armed with chin-mounted laser cannons and side-mounted weapon pods. The two legs make it good for reconnaissance and patrolling. The AT-ST was used in both the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor. What is an At-at walker? I recently designed a six legged walking frame for another project and one of the first things that popped into my mind after designing it was that I could probably build a reasonable All Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE) from the Star Wars universe around it.
