the All Terrain - ​Mobile Artillery Walker (AT-MAW) was a heavy artillery unit in the All Terrain walker family. It serves in a support role as a mobile artillery siege craft, easily destroying fortifications at range. The AT-MAW uses the same design as the head of the AT-ST to reduce production costs, this design offers little armor but increases speed by minimizing weight. The base features a four legged design. The front feet are heavily plated and designed to provide stability when firing the main gun, which is a mass-driver cannon fixed to the chin mount, while the rear claw feet are adept at climbing over high terrain or obstacles. The AT-MAW is also fitted with a Anti-Air blaster flak cannon on the roof and the same cheek mounted twin light blaster cannon as the AT-ST, however the opposite cheek mount is equipped with an advanced radar unit to improve sighting at extreme range.

Design Notes:

This model is based on a drawing by Shane Molina https://www.artstation.com/artwork/bzywv I have obtained his permission to use the deign as well as posting it here.

Once I had seen Shane's drawing I knew I just had to make it out of LEGO! I started by buying the official LEGO AT-ST model, intending to build the head and then start on the legs. However after I had built the model I realized the head's shape was all wrong and so I ended up redesigning the whole thing! I've added the sloped front, flat top and longer flanges on the sides. I did manage to retain all of LEGO's play designs, including: the opening top and top hatch, the spring shooter missiles, and even added a place to store the gun and binoculars. Designing the legs went fairly smoothly, although the main torso joints gave me a lot of trouble before I ended up going with functionality over design with the big ratchet joints.

I would love to answer any questions and to get some feedback on the design!!!!
