Here’s the final Star Wars sculpture I did for LEGO in 2015, appropriately titled AT-ST on Endor. As you can guess, the legs shuffle back and forth when you turn the crank.

Note: In 2017, builder Carl Greatrix tackled the same concept, motorized, at a much larger scale. The walking motion in his model is phenomenal - check out his work in progress at www.flickr.com/photos/bricktrix/

  • Falcon Over Jakku powerpig
    powerpig posted a photo: Here’s another Star Wars vehicle sculpture I created for LEGO in 2015. It's titled Falcon Over Jakku and it swings side to side when you twist the gear at the back. I had a prototype with a TIE, too; the two modules could be connected and they'd crisscross when the gear was turned. UPDATE: Guide now available at chrismcveigh.com
