Sage Werbock's Star Wars AT-AT Imperial Walker made from old computer parts

TGN Smith shop is already known for some of its best handmade and forged iron items. Metallic robots, welded sculptures, and classic wares are some of its classic recyclements. Sage Werbock is a sculptor from TGN smith who is also a Star Wars fan. Being fascinated from the Star Wars movie, Sage has developed a replica of alien creature Imperial Walker, AT-AT . Even i liked the creature but i never dared to take my imagination so forward. What makes Sage's work more commendable that it has been entirely made up of old computer parts and spare parts in garage. It was all the material which was required to make a powerful AT-AT. The ducting the and twining of the steel work was not at all preferred while executing the project. Instead of this Werbock performed some serious welds to give AT-AT a proper shape. Werbock also left some burned scars on the creatures body for signifying its war ridden history.

The imperial walker of Sage, measures nearly one and half feet in length and weighs just 15 pounds. To an extent the sculpture is very rigid as there are no mobilizing parts in it. Its solid exterior is composed of power supply boxes of computers, floppy drive holders and other scrap metal. A powerful mechanism of MIG welding process was used to fix the body parts. Further to that shielding of cold galvanizing primer and protective gloss was applied to protect the creature from rusting and giving it a glossy look. Sage can make the similar AT-AT for you at a price of $450.
