This is a good model of an AT-AT from Star Wars. The peices are good quality plastic but some don't fit very well together (the main body). The front legs have a poseable knee joint but the aft ones are stiff - so I bought two of this kit and just used two front legs on one model. I had to do some surgery (on the knee joints) to make them move more and I put a wire and a soft light puddy from Crayola in the head neck and "chest" sections of the walker, now the head moves more smoothly and easily than the "rubber band friction" of the origianl kit. I would recomend adding weight to the footpads with plaster or bb's. I also drilled out the shoulder apparatus and added a the moving shoulder joint as seen in the movies. That is very difficult however, it took several tries to get it right. But now I have a model walker with moving head, shoulder, knee and ankle joints for a full range of poses. The model from the kit is a good model, but with some creativity and patience, you can make it much, much better.

Performance of this kit is average, some parts are not fitting correctly. But if you're skilful a lot, you will get a pretty model

This model I should say, is very nice.
Although this is my very first model built with the usage of glue, I can say for sure the detailing and quality is great.
I'm probably gonna buy another one of these just so I can build it even better.

For those who don't know:
WARNING! Glue is imperative if you want to build this, as with all AMT-line models.
These models are not pre-painted and also does not include paints for the modeler.
