Captain Rex's AT-TE

Was looking through concept art from the Star Wars Rebels site and on the net in general and I came across some art for the modified AT-TE. I saw the episode and dug the look of it but didn't give it much thought. At Brickvention JK Bricks had a mini AT-TE walker and I briefly considered doing it in steampunk style but time and will were lacking. But the idea is still percolating. So here is a bit of an internet search dump...











So DJ BaLaLaWa has moced it here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/132005172@N03/sets/72157663113714471/

 And lego have a set for it.
And there is a nifty animation here:

But I want to do it... Just like its steampunkiness and the colours... Another for the wishlist.

Rebel Tie Fighter Varients

I like to do obscure space ship lego builds. Two of these are from the Rebels - the Wolf and the Mining Guild Tie Fighter. I finished the wolf over a year ago and it was at Brickvention 2016 (the table next to me was empty so I put out some ships and small MOCs) but finally got around to adding custom stickers. The mining guild tie was also finished a few months back but I added stickers too. I made up a mining guild insignia but the sticker would not remove in one piece so I turfed it.

An ongoing theme of my lego builds has been mashups and I've done about 6 other tie fighter mashups (scooby doo, ghostbusters, dalek, steampunk, classic space and batman) but since this is a Rebels blog I won't bore you with them. You can see more images on flickr here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/78271818@N00/with/32342394505/

Oh dang the wings on the wolf are on backwards... oh well.
