ATST Mod for Mortar Launcher

By MrMustang, in Star Wars: Legion

Hey all just an FYI that you can take the back of the ATST with a small wide hobby knife so that you can get access to the inside. Just slowly work your way around the seem and keep prying a bit at a time. I didn't like the idea of gluing the launcher on and wanted it to be removable. I plan to add some magnets to the launcher and the inside of the atst. A simple mod but worth the time. I will update when its done

Update with magnets in. Project came out ok for my first time doing something like this. I had to use a bit of grey/green stuff to mount one of the magnets as the launcher sits at an angel. Then i just set the magnets inside the body, positioned the launcher and glued them in place.

I was thinking of doing the same thing....thanks for the post!!!!

Now the question is, how easy is it to put back on?

Glue?

I've already thrown a magnet in my mortar launcher, so the next step is hand drilling the hole in the side. This certainly helps show the thickness I'm dealing with.

Not all heroes wear capes.

How many trooper minis can you stuff inside?

Just drill the outside and paint over the magnet.....

the side is only 1.8mm thick so for me that was not an option as my magnets are 2mm.

I think I'm gonna mount a plastic plate inside once I drill out thin side wall

Hmm. Makes me think we can cut the windows out and some heads behind them. Maybe even pop the top hatch and mount an IA Veers model (or Chewie for you Rebel scum).

I want someone to do this.

Saw a post on Facebook where someone used magnets to hold the back plate on and uses the inside of the head to store the extra guns.
