I recently built Raskolnikov's Plus-Size AT-AT and it's a very good build. I decided to build that first over yours just because I only needed $70 worth of parts that I didn't have, but I'm definitely going to build yours in a year or two. I prefer your moc to the UCS, especially since it has working lights.
You know I never realized how scary the AT-AT walking sounds are. When you watch the movie you’re captivated by the visuals but just hearing the audio, imagine the enemy approaching your position and hearing that.
It's a great example of how sounds in movies are so important. We often don't really notice it in the moment, but they really are an essential part of the experience of watching movies. Just think about the sounds of the doors closing then zooming in on Leia's face, thinking about Han and Luke out in the freezing snow all alone. And the door sounds almost almost give this feeling of anticipation and then they finally close and then Chewy roars. Sound design is sooo important in movies.
Your editing is really good. Love the cuts to star wars footage to compare the model to and helps immerse us. This model is designed and packed tight like your falcon. Amazing.
As someone who has recently gotten back into Lego, I'm in awe of these massive sets they are putting out but also find them to be too impractical for their size. I love the scale you are choosing to highlight and build. Also super cool to see actual star wars scenes interspersed throughout the video.
I agree, "play scale" is great, but it often lacks some details. But, UCS sets are often just too massive to be practical. This mid-UCS scale he has is a great middle ground with great detail, but also not overwhelming.
The AT-AT has always been my favorite Star Wars vehicle. I bought the original set as a kid and built my own minifig scale version a couple years before the official one released. That being said, this has got to be my favorite version, by far. It's absolutely beautiful.
This reminds me of a UCS AT-AT but made smaller, which is great for those of us with less room or don’t have $850+ to spare. The detail is amazing especially with the mix of smooth and studs surfaces. 🤩
This has really made me think that lego should start a new line of sets like this that’s almost a transition between play scale and ucs where it’s like a play scale model with ucs level detail. I honestly think it would do really really well! This model looks fantastic btw!
was binging all of your videos yesterday wondering when the next upload would be, and here it is! Love your videos because of the great camera quality, editing, showcasing and overall very professional style! keep it up and I'm sure the growth of the channel with continue exponentially
I know this is a few months late, but I love your MOCS so much that when I’m waiting for any new videos to drop, I find myself coming back to old ones like these. As much as I love your regular builds, like the X-Wing I recently built, I would love to see more small 1/45th vehicles like your speeders. I would love to see how you would take on an Imperial patrol speeder as well. Either way, I am so looking forward for what you have next!
Well thank you! I certainly haven’t stopped, but it does take me a while to create new MOCs. I got a lot done this year because most of my MOCs had been built over the last 2-3 years and I just had to create them digitally and record them. You can be sure I will conical the 1/45 scale
Haha, ya I had a feeling some might notice that. I also said “knock it out of the park” twice too close to each other. That’s what happens when you don’t script things
Amazing! The AT-AT is probably my favorite vehicle of the Star Wars universe (certainly my favorite Imperial vehicle). I built the Raskolvikov AT-AT and it’s great but given my love for the vehicle I have been debating getting the UCS model before it retires. This moc might just be the perfect solution. Also thanks for the speeder bike instructions! Your generosity allows me to forgive your calling it an “A-T-A-T” ;)
@@BAUFmanBricks And yet we call them “tie” fighters. All in good humor, I’m sure Imperial troopers argued about it a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. ;). Now the big problem is how I’m going to fit thin new walker build into my project list.
I really like this scale for the AT-AT, using the scene where Luke hangs into the AT-AT is a good way to get a sense of relative scale. I'm also looking into building a snowspeeder and so far I've seensome nice ones in rebrickable but I'll wait to see what you conjure up since your X-wing is the best design and size I've seen and the jewel of my starfighter collection. Snowspeeders are quite small compared to official lego sets so you might enjoy takling that one and completing the scene. Looking forward to it
I am definitely looking forward to doing a speeder, and it does worry me how I am going to squeeze so much into such a small size but I like the challenge
You can compare sizes of your Millennium Falcon with the AT-AT, by using the proportions of the Ghost landing on the top of an AT-AT in Rebels. The Ghost and the Millennium Falcon are similar sizes and it looks pretty close to me. The Ghost was about the same length as the AT-AT when it landed on top of the platform if I recall. Yours might be just a little bit bigger scale, but still pretty close. Also, Rastolav(sp)'s AT-AT is really awesome. I built it myself a long time ago and love it. So much better than the play scale versions that Lego makes.
Hey man, really cool video. Probably watched it nearly 20 times now just in anticipation for my prices coming to build my own. Just wondering if you have an ATST in the pipeline. Would love one that scaled nicely with this ATAT
I haven’t started on an AT-ST though I have done some research in the past. I am definitely going to build one and have a wish list of making it shorter, fitting two drivers, and having articulating legs… although I am unsure if that is all accomplishable. Probably won’t happen the first half of this year and no guarantee it will fall into place second half
@ yes, the in universe articulation of the legs seems a nightmare to engineer into Lego. Theres a great display one by ‘onecase’ on rebrickable but would much prefer your scaled take on it. No rush and anticipate your next video 🤙
No promises, but if we are getting an Arc-170 and an Interceptor in the new year it may accelerate my plans because it would allow me to modify useful pieces being introduced
you mentioned rouge one and the battle of scarif there. thats one of my favorite moments in star wars, ever! i have a recommendation, i think its criminal that the hammerhead corvette did not receive any sort of lego set. if there was one ship id beleive deserves something like this, a playable ucs or just general set, id want it to be the hammerhead corvette.
Agreed! The battle of scarrif is amazing and I love the hammerhead. My scale definitely has me thinking about those size ships in the future. It makes it possible to make a Gozanti cruiser, Tantive IV, or Hammerhead Corvette
@BAUFmanBricks those would be cool! i think the Tantive IV got a release this year from Lego, but i can't recall any sets being made of the Gozanti cruiser recently. I still just can't believe all these years later that Lego missed such a huge opportunity by not making a hammerhead corvette Rouge one set. it's littarly the ship that singlehandedly turned an impossible tide in that battle!!
Fantastic work as usual. I love how you incorporate movie scenes into your videos. I have built the playscale Lego version and the Mould King version of the AT-AT. My biggest fear for AT-AT models is stability. The MK Model which is based on a MOC looked fantastic at nearly 7k pieces. But the stability and the way the legs were attached was not great. It was just to heavy for the legs. This one looks much sturdier from your video. Maybe Ill give it a try.
Thank you! I didn’t mention it, but the feet have rubber wheels for grip support on the bottom just like the UCS version. You have to be careful when moving it around as it is easy to have the legs slide past the point stability, but overall it’s very well constructed.
Great build, and pretty cool that you're paying forward your revenue on other creators! Edge of Bricks and yourself have some fantastic builds. I'm not sure what your plans are, but I'd love to see your take on Mando's N1. The original set leaves a lot to be desired, and it's huge, and there are so many different MOCs out there that do parts well and not so well. Looking forward to seeing your next creation!
Oh dang... you're reviewing OTHER people's MOCs now? Knowing you're also a guy who is somewhat obsessed with scaling and such, I've been working on a Munificent to scale with the Invisible Hand from earlier this year. I would be flattered if you deemed it good enough to take a look at that-maybe not even in a video but just in some of the pictures I've posted in community posts. Also, that's an insanely impressive AT-AT. Honestly think it looks better than the official UCS version, and I'm not just saying that. So very well-done.
Ya I am definitely interested to take a look at it. Midi-scale isn’t much my specialty and I am less familiar with those ships but I may be able to lend an eye.
Id’d say the actual size is closer to 100 feet. Like when comparing the sizes of the snowspeeders and especially Luke relative to it. The head would be really tight in a 75 feet version. Beautiful build.
Ya I think some scenes in particular are pushing the size to more near 100. I actually edited out me saying that exactly. Some of the speeder scenes really make that vehicle feel too tiny if the Walker truly was only 75ft
@@BAUFmanBricks I just rewatched the scene and some of the shots (especially the cable takedown where you can see the speeder pass in front of the walker) might be beyond 100ft. The feet dwarfs the speeder to the point where it would have completely disappeared under them when stepped on 5mn later…
I don’t even know the specs, some sort of HP monitors my work gave me for a PC tower. I hook them up to my personal Mac for my Lego videos. They are fine HD monitors, but not ideal to pair with my retina display macbook pro
Hey Bauf, I know you’re more of a OT guy (same) but do you have plans to do any prequel builds? I’d love to see your rendition of some of the ships from episodes 1-3. Awesome job as always!!
No official plans yet, but I am very curios to see the ARC-170 and Jedi Interceptor that are rumored. Those two ships may accelerate my plans based on the pieces they provide. I am an opportunistic builder who likes to save money so having those models may spur me on to mod them
nice try BAUF, now you need to make an Snowspeeder that fits through the legs. And the various Rebel turrets from hoth. And the Rebel Transport ship. And all the ships from Episode 5 LOL
UCS AT-AT has to be one of the toughest builds to get right in lego. Like you said, it is known for its size and scary presence in the movies. I think that is one of the main things that makes it so awesome. However to achieve that size in lego, it get's very heavy and means you need to balance the large body and especially the head on such skinny legs to also get the look right. The official UCS AT-AT is very good, but the legs are too think in my opinion. It has maybe the best interior and maybe the strongest of these other builds. The brickvault version by richboyjhae is very good in proportions and interior but unfortunately quite fragile. The cavegod AT-AT is very good in looks, but again fragile, stronger I think than brickvault, and actually too big for minifig scale. This AT-AT looks great, has a great interior, seems strong enough, but back the start of my comment is not big enough (for my likes at least haha) I would love to see an AT-AT that checks off all the boxes - proportions - strength - interior - minifig scale Maybe this is an impossible task...
Use the Brickhunter web extension tool. Then identify all the expensive pieces you can buy on Pick A Brick, enough for free shipping. Then use Bricklink for everything else
Honestly think this looks better than the UCS version for one simple reason: the thickness of the body. The UCS version has way too thin of a body. It's flush with the legs when it's supposed to protrude. IMO this makes its profile look more like a dog while this version looks like a true tank.
Hey, BAUFmanBricks, would you consider having a look at the Stinger Mantis MOC by Dan Ford Johnson? I feel like it's a fairly underrated moc of an interesting ship that i think fits within your scale, and could maybe use your extra attention to detail, like you did with the AT-AT? The instructions for it are free as well on Rebrickable. Thanks in advance!
I think @2bricks Mantis is more in line with my scale. The Mantis is a larger ship and I think very comparable to my Falcon with similar piece counts. Dan’s is a great playscale set, but I think it is shrunk down a bit too much. I haven’t crunched the numbers but just looking at it seems to be around 1/100 scale which I think would be a bit too small, kind of like the recent Ahsoka T-6 shuttle
@@BAUFmanBricks Thanks for the quick reply! :D I see what you mean, it does feel a little bit small and I'm a huge fan of 2Bricks, and i do think his mantis might be the best, but i got the feeling the mantis was that much smaller than the falcon, hence my suggestion, since i feel like Lego would be more likely to make something closer to Dan's than to 2Bricks' design (Along with it probably being cheaper to get than 2Bricks' design XD). I was also mentioning it since we are going to get the new playscale ISD with Cal Kestis, and i wanted to get an opinion as to which of the two to get (other than my own). In any case, thanks for your input once again! I just got the 2019 Millenium Falcon and will be getting your MOC instructions for it soon! Keep up the good work, love the way you edit your videos!! :D
Oh and BTW I have not played Fallen Order (although I am sure I would love it) so I am not an expert on the source material in this instance and haven’t crunched the numbers. I just got the sense that the Mantis is a small frigate ship similar to the Falcon which I could be incorrect about
@@BAUFmanBricks Ah fair enough! If you ever play them you should do a stream! I would watch it at least! XD I investigated a bit after i replied and i think the mantis is slightly longer than the falcon, so 2bricks' version is absolutely more accurate size-wise, at least when compared to the 2019 falcon XD Dan's is about the same length as the force awakens falcon. (It's in one of the 2 or 3 reviews of Dan's model on youtube XD)
I assume official Lego, not MOCs? Good question, none that I can think of that are perfect... The TIE Bomber is pretty good like I mention in my Interceptor video. The newest desert skiff might be really close but I haven't done any measurements or had it in hand yet. The 20th anniversary Slave 1 is excellent, but just needed some modifications as I show in my video of it. Typically Lego isn't going to detail their ships to my standards. Typically their small starships are going to be too big and their large ones too small. They have to keep price and piece count down to make them sell well to a wide audience. Their designers have their arms tied behind their backs making it appealing to the masses while I appeal to a small segment of mostly adults. I noticed there is a large gap between playscale and UCS and I try to fill it - I don't think Lego is interested in the kind of standards I set, though I am sure their designers could fill it.
when I was younger, around 10 or 11 years old, I really really wanted to have the LEGO AT-AT, LEGO Millennium Falcon, and the LEGO Death Star. Now that Im 20, I can safely say. I still wish I got these sets growing up. I cant find these sets anywhere anymore, and the only places I can are from resellers who add a couple hundred to the price tag because they're "discontinued" or something. Maybe some day I'll own a LEGO AT-AT, Death Star, and Millennium Falcon.
I only owned the original x-wing and 2 small phantom menace sets. After that I dropped out of Lego and I don’t have much nostalgia for the old stuff, though I understand it. I am really enjoying all the new pieces and MOC builders utilizing new and accurate techniques
@@BAUFmanBricks I remember I had a few sets, I dont remember all of them though 😭😭 but I had the hoth land speeder thingy one. I got it for Christmas when I was 8 or something
Well, in my opinion, it is almost UCS Play Scale. Yes it is big, but as you showed it at 13:07 and explained during the video, the playscale version is way too small. On the other side, the UCS version is too oversized. So yes, 18" seems to be a good compromise.
Ya, crunching the numbers may not exactly line up with my UCS playscale projection but the most important part is passing the eye-test. I knew the playset needed a boost in size because even at 13” the playset isn’t even 1/78 scale, it’s larger than my UCS playscale projection at 1/66.
@@Delerane interesting, I knew it was a few studs taller than brickvaults custom version ( when standing up straight at least) but most sentiment I've seen said that it wasn't too noticeably oversized. Lego scaling is an interesting conversation for sure
@@NicoCdawg Well, according to Wookipedia, an AT-AT is 22,5m tall. Which mean, at 1:42 scale (the closest to the minifig scale) approximatively 56 bricks tall (I personnaly use 5 brick to represent 2m). In that way, it should be about 54cm tall (5 bricks = 4,8cm). The UCS AT-AT is 62cm tall, 115% of the size it should be, according to my calculations. It is closer to 1:36 scale I guess.
I was hesitant about the size at first but anything smaller feels like a betrayal to the source material as it needs to outsize smaller ships and make troops feel minuscule
It’s actually very close to minifigure scale. It’s not even “play scale” at this point. The UCS is actually out of scale by height, being too tall for minifigures.
Thanks a lot for this review!! I'm glad you like it!
In my mind it is definitively the best Lego AT-AT, thanks for the awesome build!
Fantastic work. its so clean!
I recently built Raskolnikov's Plus-Size AT-AT and it's a very good build. I decided to build that first over yours just because I only needed $70 worth of parts that I didn't have, but I'm definitely going to build yours in a year or two.

nice try BAUF, now you need to make an Snowspeeder that fits through the legs. And the various Rebel turrets from hoth. And the Rebel Transport ship. And all the ships from Episode 5 LOL
Haha, Ya but I have to do it very slowly so as not to enrage my wife
@@BAUFmanBricks One of Us, One of Us, take out a mortgage, sell a car
Haha
i build my own not too long ago (not nearly as good) but its still the only one ive ever seen that has an actual walkway though the neck
Oh wow I have never seen that feature on an lego AT-AT. Surely neck articulation had to be sacrificed? Impressive feat, either way
Oh yeah there's pretty much no articulation but I was willing to make the sacrifice just so I could say I was the only one with that feature lol
UCS AT-AT has to be one of the toughest builds to get right in lego. Like you said, it is known for its size and scary presence in the movies. I think that is one of the main things that makes it so awesome. However to achieve that size in lego, it get's very heavy and means you need to balance the large body and especially the head on such skinny legs to also get the look right.
The official UCS AT-AT is very good, but the legs are too think in my opinion. It has maybe the best interior and maybe the strongest of these other builds.
The brickvault version by richboyjhae is very good in proportions and interior but unfortunately quite fragile.
The cavegod AT-AT is very good in looks, but again fragile, stronger I think than brickvault, and actually too big for minifig scale.
This AT-AT looks great, has a great interior, seems strong enough, but back the start of my comment is not big enough (for my likes at least haha)
I would love to see an AT-AT that checks off all the boxes
- proportions
- strength
- interior
- minifig scale
Maybe this is an impossible task...
Ya it’s just one of those builds that is impossible to be perfect. Which makes it really interesting to see what builders prioritize
@@BAUFmanBricks Thanks for the response! Yes very true, all depends on what the goal of the build is. Great video as always!
How would you go about getting all the bricks to build this? Any tips or ideas?
Use the Brickhunter web extension tool. Then identify all the expensive pieces you can buy on Pick A Brick, enough for free shipping. Then use Bricklink for everything else
please do a First Order AT M6
I don’t have much interest in sequel sets, BUT @edgeofbricks has already created an M6 walker which looks amazing
Honestly think this looks better than the UCS version for one simple reason: the thickness of the body. The UCS version has way too thin of a body. It's flush with the legs when it's supposed to protrude. IMO this makes its profile look more like a dog while this version looks like a true tank.
Hey, BAUFmanBricks, would you consider having a look at the Stinger Mantis MOC by Dan Ford Johnson? I feel like it's a fairly underrated moc of an interesting ship that i think fits within your scale, and could maybe use your extra attention to detail, like you did with the AT-AT? The instructions for it are free as well on Rebrickable. Thanks in advance!
I think @2bricks Mantis is more in line with my scale. The Mantis is a larger ship and I think very comparable to my Falcon with similar piece counts. Dan’s is a great playscale set, but I think it is shrunk down a bit too much. I haven’t crunched the numbers but just looking at it seems to be around 1/100 scale which I think would be a bit too small, kind of like the recent Ahsoka T-6 shuttle
@@BAUFmanBricks Thanks for the quick reply! :D I see what you mean, it does feel a little bit small and I'm a huge fan of 2Bricks, and i do think his mantis might be the best, but i got the feeling the mantis was that much smaller than the falcon, hence my suggestion, since i feel like Lego would be more likely to make something closer to Dan's than to 2Bricks' design (Along with it probably being cheaper to get than 2Bricks' design XD). I was also mentioning it since we are going to get the new playscale ISD with Cal Kestis, and i wanted to get an opinion as to which of the two to get (other than my own).
In any case, thanks for your input once again! I just got the 2019 Millenium Falcon and will be getting your MOC instructions for it soon! Keep up the good work, love the way you edit your videos!! :D
Oh and BTW I have not played Fallen Order (although I am sure I would love it) so I am not an expert on the source material in this instance and haven’t crunched the numbers. I just got the sense that the Mantis is a small frigate ship similar to the Falcon which I could be incorrect about
@@BAUFmanBricks Ah fair enough! If you ever play them you should do a stream! I would watch it at least! XD I investigated a bit after i replied and i think the mantis is slightly longer than the falcon, so 2bricks' version is absolutely more accurate size-wise, at least when compared to the 2019 falcon XD Dan's is about the same length as the force awakens falcon. (It's in one of the 2 or 3 reviews of Dan's model on youtube XD)
Could you maybe put it next to the ucs atat just to have a better understanding of its size ?
Nope, because Im not wasting $850
Is there any lego sets you consider to already be perfect for your scale and how you'd want it to look?
I assume official Lego, not MOCs? Good question, none that I can think of that are perfect... The TIE Bomber is pretty good like I mention in my Interceptor video. The newest desert skiff might be really close but I haven't done any measurements or had it in hand yet. The 20th anniversary Slave 1 is excellent, but just needed some modifications as I show in my video of it. Typically Lego isn't going to detail their ships to my standards. Typically their small starships are going to be too big and their large ones too small. They have to keep price and piece count down to make them sell well to a wide audience. Their designers have their arms tied behind their backs making it appealing to the masses while I appeal to a small segment of mostly adults. I noticed there is a large gap between playscale and UCS and I try to fill it - I don't think Lego is interested in the kind of standards I set, though I am sure their designers could fill it.
when I was younger, around 10 or 11 years old, I really really wanted to have the LEGO AT-AT, LEGO Millennium Falcon, and the LEGO Death Star. Now that Im 20, I can safely say. I still wish I got these sets growing up. I cant find these sets anywhere anymore, and the only places I can are from resellers who add a couple hundred to the price tag because they're "discontinued" or something. Maybe some day I'll own a LEGO AT-AT, Death Star, and Millennium Falcon.
I only owned the original x-wing and 2 small phantom menace sets. After that I dropped out of Lego and I don’t have much nostalgia for the old stuff, though I understand it. I am really enjoying all the new pieces and MOC builders utilizing new and accurate techniques
@@BAUFmanBricks I remember I had a few sets, I dont remember all of them though 😭😭 but I had the hoth land speeder thingy one. I got it for Christmas when I was 8 or something
Looks good overall but the feet are egregiously too small
2:38 amigo te doy un consejo ponerle una pieza de encanaje de bionicle y luego otra pieza de encanaje la sentido contario
that look so much better than the UCS one!
Well, in my opinion, it is almost UCS Play Scale. Yes it is big, but as you showed it at 13:07 and explained during the video, the playscale version is way too small. On the other side, the UCS version is too oversized. So yes, 18" seems to be a good compromise.
Ya, crunching the numbers may not exactly line up with my UCS playscale projection but the most important part is passing the eye-test. I knew the playset needed a boost in size because even at 13” the playset isn’t even 1/78 scale, it’s larger than my UCS playscale projection at 1/66.
Isn't the UCS version as close to minifigure scale as it gets?
@@NicoCdawg I don't remember it scale, but it is too tall.
@@Delerane interesting, I knew it was a few studs taller than brickvaults custom version ( when standing up straight at least) but most sentiment I've seen said that it wasn't too noticeably oversized.
Lego scaling is an interesting conversation for sure
@@NicoCdawg Well, according to Wookipedia, an AT-AT is 22,5m tall. Which mean, at 1:42 scale (the closest to the minifig scale) approximatively 56 bricks tall (I personnaly use 5 brick to represent 2m). In that way, it should be about 54cm tall (5 bricks = 4,8cm).
The UCS AT-AT is 62cm tall, 115% of the size it should be, according to my calculations. It is closer to 1:36 scale I guess.
It's a little too big but you can just say it as the same size as one of the Rogue One AT-ATs
I was hesitant about the size at first but anything smaller feels like a betrayal to the source material as it needs to outsize smaller ships and make troops feel minuscule
Only 25€ for a 5k piece MOC?
I've seen instructions for 2k piece models selling for more than that.
Yep, not a bad price for instructions!
Why he says 80-80 instead of at-at
Because it makes more sense, especially when you consider how to say AT-ST
Im fucking going for this lol
It’s actually very close to minifigure scale. It’s not even “play scale” at this point. The UCS is actually out of scale by height, being too tall for minifigures.
Exactly! I have had a few people say it’s too small but if you do the math it’s actually is closer to true minfig scale
Eh, I don't like MOCs. I'm gonna get the UCS one before it retires.
It's an ATAT not AY-TEE-AY-TEE 😂😂
Oh yeah? So how do you pronounce AT-ST?
