at - st walker
The scout walker is the two man version of the AT-AT assault walker. Primarily used for supporting the massive battle vehicles, the AT-ST can fill multiple roles on its own. Its small size and dense armor make it perfect for supporting infantry assaults or for defending encampments. The scout walker is a formidable vehicle armed with several blaster cannons and a concussion grenade launcher. The Empire used AT-STs to protect the flanks of the main assault force on Hoth and to defend the shield generator on Endor.
I originally intended to write one book for each Star Wars movie. After finishing my first book, “Star Wars Origami: A New Hope”, I started working on figures for The Empire Strikes Back. The scout walker was the first one I tried.
20 years later I revamped the walker using a triangular piece of paper. The new version is much more accurate and I’m very please with it.
Incidentally, the man holding the early version is Julian Glover. He played General Veers, leader of the AT-AT walker assault force on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back.
