| So I decided to clean up my recently purchased AT-ST and have got as far as chicken leg soup as per below. As the next picture shows it is in need of further cleaning. What I want to know is when I undo the screws from underneath are his guts going to fall out all over the place before I get a chance to memorise his anatomy. Is it fairly simple to put back together, does anyone have any previous photos of whats inside? |

| Yeah it's not that hard to put it together. Was some years back so I don't fully remember how it looks like but I remember it wasn't that hard. Might take some tries though. |

| Where did you find that? At the bottom of the coffee pot? Good luck with it. You did a great job on the feet if they were anything like the body in color. |

| When you open it there is a good chance the internal components will go everywhere due to the spring between the legs. Here is a link to a step by step guide that I did for someone on here once before - http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t3600-how-to-repair-your-at-st-walker (my pictures are about half way down the page). Let us know how you get on.

| Thanks Cantina Patron, I was unsure what I would encounter once I open it up. Your quick guide makes it look fairly simple to put back together. - kisstour03 wrote:

Lol, dismatling things has never been an issue for me either, did you use fire to get it back together? |

Glad to help. You should find putting it back together pretty straight forward. The first attempt can be a bit like playing Buckaroo - Just as you get the last piece in place everything flies apart & your back to square one. It will great to see a picture of it restored to it's former glory! |
