"Oh, damn this vehicle! Enlist and see the galaxy, they said! Discover new worlds, and conquer all of them, this also they said. But there are more stars with planets out there than drops of water in the oceans - how could have the Republic controlled all of them one day? And how couldit do that in the time to come this new Empire without Jedi?"
"Another thing - they didn't ever tell me was that I had to make use of this AT-RT transport. You know, driving this vehicle all day makes me seasick. The terrain is not easy to cover by means of this, being full of rocks, slopes, undergrowth and boulders, and those metallic legs always go backwards and forwards, and when I get off I just think I'm still walking on the ground like a chicken."
"Enlist and see the galaxy, drive this AT-RT, get seasick and then also walk, and think, like a chicken I'd dare say. What a bad day. And there are also those fierce rebels to fight out there.

The model is painted with acrylics, leaving oils only for the weathering and the metal parts, and several ink washings on the creature and the terrain were also needed for a better look of it all.
