My apologies for my recent lack of blogging - life has been insane.  Gimme another month.

“Other women want jewelry, but all you want is an instrument of war.”

So it was that, after two years of drooling over the motorized LEGO AT-AT online, I finally got my miniturized machine of destruction as a birthday gift.  (Just wait ’till it snows again this year - oh the pictures we will have!)

Nothing if not a devoted companion, Tarzan insisted in taking part in the building process.  Already pals with the Roomba, he showed no fear when faced with this walking skeleton (which is nearly as large as Tarzan himself.)

I was so busy that it took me a couple weeks to finish it.  The inside was a cluster of tiny, interlocking bits that took much longer than expected.  The legs, body, and head came along much more quickly.

At long last, I attached the armor plating.  My newest robotic minion was finally ready to bring forth a new reign of terror!  (Or a new stewardship of terror, at the very least.)
