Sunset patrol

Scale model of an AT-ST on routine Imperial patrol.

The AT-ST was a light, heavily armed, ground combat vehicle that adapted easily to a variety of environments. It was designed to be a reconnaissance, attack and escape vehicle, lighter than its big brother, the AT-ST.

“It is best to deploy AT-STs in urban environments. Inspired fear is usually enough to get the job done.”
(AT-ST Service Manual)

The model is built on a diorama that represents a routine Imperial patrol on a remote Outer Rim planet. The Stormtrooper spots a small ship in the distance landing in a rocky valley. It’s the first sign of life in an otherwise uninhabited planet since the garrison got deployed.

The AT ST comes from the plastic kit of the Bandai brand. The Stormtroopers figures are a Dark Fire Designs design and are printed in resin in 1/48 scale.
The diorama has been hand sculpted and carved on the wooden base.
The final size of the piece is 11,5×11,5x24cm.
