AT-TE of the Grand Republic Army; Veteran of the 41st Elite Corp

[hummingbird]

The 41st Elite Corps was a legion of elite clones in the Grand Army of the Republic, composed of many variants of troopers, including AT-RT drivers, clone scout troopers and BARC troopers. Their legion color was alternately gray or marked with green camouflage. The 41st Elite was a division out of the 9th Assault Corps, under command of Senior Jedi General Luminara Unduli and Senior clone commander Gree.

This AT-TE has seen extensive battles and suffer massive damages from serving with the 41st Elite Corps under Commander Gree and Jedi Master Yoda on Kashyyyk. The left side of this AT-TE is more severally damaged as the dense forest of Kashyyyk is not as forgiving to the men and materials of the Republic as the other planets.

A little info about the kit - the kit is the Revell easy snap fit kit that I got for half-price and I was curious to see the quality of it.. and I WAS appalled by the quality I found .. and I knew I had to do something about the 1-year old scribbling paint job and pre-painted weathering effect and so, I decided to heavily weather it and damage it ..

The damages are done by using my trusted little Rotocraft power tool and almost all the damges are done by various sizes of Drills ...

I painted in 4 layers, metalli base, hull red ( as the vehicle's primer ), base grey and the camo green and Use the hairspray method to get the paint chips ...

Weathering was done by using MIG pigments, MIG washes and Flory Model ( knows previously as Promodeller's washes )

Now, that the Introduction is done, allow me to present to you, My custom coloured and Damaged AT-TE ...

Very nice! Never seen a green version before. Looks like it gone through rough times.

Nice work. Thanks for posting it.

I'm not a huge fan of the prequels...but. This looks cool and after looking it over, those designs present alot of great opportunities for weathering. Cool.

Yeah nice! I'll have to keep my eyes open for one of these. What scale is it do you think?

Nice work, I don't see many modelers take on these Revell SW kits so it's nice to see one and done with some effort and a history to it.

Thanks much, john ... Scale wise, as far as I have researched, this is in 1:98 ( I may be wrong ) .. and yes, you definitely have to keep your eyes open for these
