Happy days for us all indeed Adywan! Great news that you managed to get a good one for what's needed on this thing. :)
I also see you really liked some of vaderio's ideas then. I'm especially pleased that you liked his 'electrical' ION Cannon laserbolts concept. I can't wait to see your own finished version of that.
I'm going to post a lengthy follow-up very shortly about some remaining thoughts to do with the whole AT-AT battle sequence, and I hope you'll find something of interest amongst the different aspects of it. I'd like to thank doubleofive once again for kindly supplying the shots I wanted to show here.
