This is not really a problem as this section is attached by the two black 1 x 12 plates only (and the Technic pins coming out of the vertical dark bluish gray rounded beams).<br /><br />I could then fit the four red Technic pins from the left and right sides to the second from top perpendicular black 1 x 16 beams. Things look as good as the photos from your own AT-AT, so I guess it's the right position. I will have to wait a few days before I'll be able to build the top and see if it fits.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-51884624809328551202012-12-21T16:37:51.623+00:002012-12-21T16:37:51.623+00:00The LDD files I got at the end of November seem to...The LDD files I got at the end of November seem to correct the issue with the missing inverted slopes under the right side. The dissymmetry of the 1 x 3 plates vs. the 2 x 3 plates is still there, though.<br /><br />I found a few places along the build where things could be made symmetrical (in the internal structure, of course, some dissymmetry on the outside of the vehicle is expected), or where a simple 2 x 2 plate would prevent a part attached at the top from floating at the bottom. I'll probably correct them at the end of the build if I have adequate parts left.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-47152527997569078502012-11-06T14:22:26.946+00:002012-11-06T14:22:26.946+00:00Dave/Pete
So, I've almost finished the body (...Dave/Pete<br /><br />So, I've almost finished the body (catching up with you Dave!) and I think there is a mistake in the LDD file along the left side of the body. <br /><br />On the right side, the 6x12 DBG plates (under the 8x8 grill plates) which protrude from the body are underpinned with a series of 2x2, 2x3 and 2x6 inverted DBG slopes. <br /><br />In LDD these are not present on the left side. If you look at the finished image posted by Dave the inverted slopes are not present. Also, you can see 2 1x3 plates protruding from the left side (just beyond the ends of the 6x12 DBG protruding plates) which doesn't look correct to me. On the right side these are 2x3 plates which are underpinned with the 2x6 inverted slopes. I suspect both left and right sides should be mirror images of each other, can you confirm Pete?<br /><br /><br />Also, the tall upright DBG beam (The long outer one which goes below the 6x12 DBG plates at the base) toward the front causes a gap in the row of inverted 2x2 45 degree slopes under the side. This beam could be moved up one hole and still function, but I don't know if it would impact on the positioning of the side as I've not reached that part of the build yet.BaneBrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459948939676992873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-66073139120255362712012-10-21T14:21:07.633+01:002012-10-21T14:21:07.633+01:00I feel a bit dirty after having looked at your pho...I feel a bit dirty after having looked at your photo of what I presume is the arsehole of an AT-ATrichselbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10055438920100609330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-80884459076902128472012-10-20T19:38:07.314+01:002012-10-20T19:38:07.314+01:00I'm glad to see it can be built :-) will you d...I'm glad to see it can be built :-) will you do one side next so we can find out if it fits ok?Pete Brookdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890784942833525756noreply@blogger.com
