Hey guys. I thought I would post about my own project that I'm working on currently. As you can tell, just recently I decided to undertake my own project. One of which I have never taken of both this kind and size--building a roughly approximate 1:1 scale of an AT-AT by Minecraft standards. Of course I may be doing it completely wrong (math was never my best subject in school anyway...ahem) and I'm not entirely certain but I believe one block is one meter (I remember reading that before but correct me if I'm wrong). Using the measurements found on Wookipedia, and this picture as a rough guide ( atatcostume.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/at-at-Image1.gif), I started my project this afternoon. So far, I'm mainly just setting up the frame of the AT-AT using dirt. Eventually I'll be doing it in stone (not cobblestone, but regular stone), I'm not sure how well this will turn out as I've never really tried building a whole lot, especially things like this. If you're wondering where my project is located, all you need to do is follow the rails to Old Chocolate/Uncharted Islands. You can't miss it. |

Wow! That sounds like it's going to take a lot of material and time. Good luck with it!  |

Yeah, today was my second day to be working on it and it was all still working on the frame of it. And as I kind of figured, I think the head is going to be the hardest of all of it to get just the way I like. I'm kind of wondering if I should make it a little bigger before I officially start putting the stone in. I think I've used up all (or at least just about) of the stacks of dirt I had in my chest.
It may not quite be 1:1, we'll see how it comes out first I suppose and worry about that later.

How about some pictures of it?  |

Sure  It's kind of a bit of a mess right now with the "scaffolding" about and everything, but it's the general idea so far. It''s a work in progress. 1) tinyurl.com/85nxpj2 - This was when I first started building the frame 2) tinyurl.com/7wbqg5h - Same shot from the other side 3) tinyurl.com/7b9cs96 - This was an early form that I have since upgraded a bit. 4) tinyurl.com/73qfs3w - A shot of the beginnings of the head 5) tinyurl.com/7gz2hvn - Today. This is the somewhat elongated version of the earlier version 6) tinyurl.com/7s7qh7m - From the other side 7) tinyurl.com/85scmy6 - The view of what will be the inside of the main body 8) tinyurl.com/7mosuw3 - In the head looking through what will be the windows 9) tinyurl.com/7ggl499 - Looking down from the very top Also, it's probably not really 1:1 (at least not the way I was thinking/going by with what I have so far). But whatever. I'm not quite sure how the scaling system iin MC exactly works, tbh. I probably should >_>. Oh well, sooner or later perhaps I'll make a lot bigger. |

Thanks! I'm glad people seem to like it so far. I had someone (a new player I think?) come out to the Uncharted Islands just a few minutes ago and asked me if that's what I was building. I'm glad it's at least recognizable so far. Here's my AT-AT as of right now at around 7 am this morning (I messed up the link for one or two of my previous ones, but this should work right): 1) tinyurl.com/842nluqI checked how many blocks wide and long it was this morning, so as of right now the dimensions in Minecraft terms are: 20 blocks high, 10 blocks wide, and 42 blocks long. I found on another site its width (which I wasn't sure of) was 7.9 meters, which is about 23 or so feet. So if I'm going to do this in the 1 block = 1 meter scale, the (approx.) equivalent is currently 60 feet high, 30 feet long, and 126 feet long in Minecraft standards. But of course that's in what I just said. I'm considering making it a little taller. To kind of make the dimensions a bit more rounded and whatnot, but I can't decide if I want to or not. One thing I'm definitely doing is moving the hind legs over just a block or two. |

Here's an update for you all on my AT-AT (code name: "The Elephant" ) since I actually just did a tiny bit of work on it. I decided to make it 17 blocks taller to kind of keep it (hopefully) proportionate. When it's all said and done, I just want it to come out as nice as possible and all. Morning Picture: tinyurl.com/7va44fbIn this picture, you can see I put up the corners (of this side, at least). Of course everything else will have to "come up" some as well, but that will be a later headache. Also, just because, here's another picture. It's the same shot, but with my character in the frame as well. For the first time ever since I started playing Minecraft, I have changed my player's skin to....a very fitting look given the circumstances. tinyurl.com/72v8sfn That's right. I've joined the Dork Dark Side of the Force! Also, since I think Safety said he didn't know who he was (he probably does but forgot), I offer you this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUrNu8lItu0www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn94j5F5YLcwww.youtube.com/watch?v=_8d0ffaO0MsEnjoy. |

It appears your AT-AT has a penis.
I don't think it's supposed to be like that. And no.
I didn't do it.

As they say, what has been seen can't be unseen. Thanks. |
