While we were there it gave me a chance to peek into Papa's workshop and see what he has been up to. We were able to spy these photos:
Gary started by pulling the actual AT-AT patent drawing for scale.
Gary then turned to his brother Steve whose hobby is playing around in a Cad-Cam program. Every piece was laid out to scale. A 3D model was built and then pieces were exploded out. Notice below that Gary has made templates.
Action shot. Template placed on foot assembly and being routed.
Finished routed foot assembly
Leg Assembly. Notice the dimension. Lots of custom work going on here.
Showing off. Yes he has 7 routers. Not sure I have 7 of anything. How does someone collect 7 routers?
Hey there. I'm making one too. I already made a speeder bed for my son. I'm making an ATAT bed now. Check mine out too. I wish I had your tools! Lucky! Good luck.
