Yup, I must agree. It is looking great, and I am sure it will be awesome when you are done with it.

This will be so frakking cool when it's finished! I love your modifications! ;D
Thanks, bud)
Alright, guys, I've finally dealt with the hatch, and to tell frankly the result overbeats my own expectations - I've spent about 20 minutes opening it and closing over and over with probably a very stupid expression on my face ;D
Then I've made some final gribbles, which completes the stage of preparational assemblies. Now I can start putting everything together.
At last the two main body halves were have been glued together. Still need to do a bit more work over these seams.
Next: some work with the droid, I think

Scott, well, the sign on the box tells that the AAT is in 1/32. But with the figures everything is a bit more complicated, cause actually they are all in their own scale, and look a bit weird next to each other (but I think that the correct scale relations were never a goal of their producers - I doubt that their common audience would bother with so precise measurements).
The droid I'm going to use is almost perfect 1/32. Along with that I've just measured the figures of Anakin and Obi-Wan from the same pack. After learning the hights of the actors I've calculated that the Obi-Wans figure is in 1/29, while Anakin is about 1/34, so You see the point.
Along with that, I think that if You don't put the figures standing straight in front of your X-Wing, that will do perfectly, 'cause it is almost impossible to see a difference between to mechanics one in 1/32 and another in 1/35 who are with their heads and shoulders inside the ship's guts, or the same thing with two pilots climbing into the cockpit with a help of a lagger. Besides, while moding the figures, and that is likely to be required, You can make them a bit shorter in knees and near the stomach to get the proper scale but keep natural body proportions (don't forget not to put their hand down along the body after that - they'll look like gorilla-monkeys ;D)
I might recommend You these packs as the most well related to your dio ones among the all from these series:

That hatch is GREAT!
Thank you a lot, fellas!
Can't wait for that too! Especially if to consider that EpI is the only one I have never seen on the big silver screen: when it was released I wasn't such a star wars geek at all and haven't yet seen not a single movie of the OT. Yes, hard to believe there was ever such a time : Still along with that I was lucky to see the OT first during a special rerun (I remember it was during one single night, we watched it with my father, the quality was a bit poor but to say that I was blown away is to say nothing at all. Bet even a craniotrypsis operation couldn't affect my brain more then that ;D) Anyway, I've then watched Eps II and III in theaters on their release dates, but the Menace is still waiting for it's star-hour. Only a month and 2 days lefr.. I have to relax, I have to relax... ;D
To tell the truth such current events like a movie or a good game release affect my choise of models that I build much. So, expect to see more stuff from Episode I, something from the era of the Old Republic and a couple of Mass Effect models on my workbench in the months to come, guys (as well as lots of Star Trek kits in spring-summer 2013 )
