Duct Tape, Cardboard and Sharpie at-at: Awesome.
October 5th, 2010
While I think it’s really cool that someone made a duct tape/sharpie AT-AT, I find it a bit ridiculous that it’s currently being sold on eBay with a starting bid of $400. Still, it’s an AT-AT made out of duct tape, so I can’t complain too much.
This model is 4 feet tall and 5 feet long. This papercraft AT-AT is 1/20th the size of a full-sized AT-AT, the so-called Imperial Walkers from Star Wars. What’s that? Did I just see that shipping this thing will cost over $200?
Komanac used wood, cardboard, duct tape, and Sharpies to make this model. It took several rolls of tape and between 30 to 40 hours to create. It was made for an art show in Alberta, Canada.

If you seriously think $400 is a lot for this sculpture you’ve never created anything remotely like it. If you imagine ordering something like this from a carpenter, for example, $400 would be the deposit..
I suppose there was a ton of labor involved. I think Range was really only taking into account the cost of materials.
Hi guys, yep it’s the materials, plus you can get some pretty cool vintage toy AT-ATs instead of this piece of art for that price. It’s not meant as a criticism about this piece. In all honestly, I think that this AT-AT would look better with nicer materials, but hey, no one has done a duct-tape AT-AT before.
I have made one from cardboard before, but never thought of using duct-tape. This is a cool ATAT. Hope it finds a good home.
