Star Wars X-wing: AT-AT conversion kit

thingiverse

I wish FFG would make ground vehicles for the X-wing game, but so far they have not. This set of files will allow you to add AT-ATs to your game. I will leave the rules up to you, but for casual/scenario games they are quite fun. First is an X-Wing style base. It is the same dimensions as the FFG 'small' fighter base but it is double length to accommodate the longer model. There is a front to the base, indicated by the 90 degree lines which denotes the firing arc. I just lay the unit number on the base between the front and back legs. Second you'll need an AT-AT model. I used this excellent one by Kolo33:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:215574 I did not create the AT-AT model but I made five of them and they turned out well. I used the fully assembled model, not the individual pieces, for my prints. Print the Kolo33 model at 40.5% scale. Wookiepedia tells me an X-wing is 12.5 meters long and an AT-AT is 22.5 meters tall. If the toy X-wing is 1.8" long then the AT-AT would need to be 3.25" tall. 40.5% will get you there. Third, you might need to replace the cheek guns on the sides of the head. While I was cleaning off the supports most of them broke them off. This is not the model's fault, it was never intended to be printed this small. So, I included files for replacement cheek guns should you need them. The separate cheek guns Kolo33 included were too delicate to use; again, not the model's fault. Also, I cut the heads off of each model. Two reasons: I wanted to re-position them a little bit so every model was different, and, I wanted a very clean print for the head with no support residue. If you print the head separately you can do it without supports. Kolo33 was nice enough to provide a full model and also the model as separate pieces, making this possible. Finally, I included a 3.25" tall cylinder should you decide to use a model other than Kolo33's. First, place the cylinder on the virtual build plate of your printing software. Then drop the AT-AT model on the build plate. Keep adjusting the scale of the AT-AT until the top of the cylinder is at the top of the AT-AT's back. Finally, delete the cylinder and print. This way you know your AT-AT will be 3.5" tall; the correct scale for games of X-wing. This file is a free download.
