The Empire Strikes Small: Mini AT-ST Popsicle Stick Models

We would all love to have full sized AT-ST models guarding our front yards (or at least for our cats), but sadly that is beyond reach for most of us. At least you can make some mini AT-ST models from popsicle sticks.

These “chicken walkers” proved a challlenge to build compared with other projects because of the two skinny mechanical legs that they balance on. So there may be some difficulty here, but nothing that you can’t overcome. All you need is a few tools, popsicle sticks and some glue and Instructables will show you how to create these mini Imperial vehicles after you finish your frozen treats.

Don’t let tiny Ewoks anywhere near them though. It just takes a pair of smart Ewoks and some logs to really mess up an AT-ST’s day and smash it’s head in.

Star Wars AT-ST Cat Playhouse: CAT-ST

I’m pretty sure the battle of Endor would have turned out differently if the AT-STs had been piloted by cats instead of Imperial troopers. Cats don’t fall for all of those old jungle traps. Plus they would just jump out of the vehicles and claw Wicket and his Ewok friends to pieces.

This AT-ST is a cat house. Not that kind of cat house. A cat play house. For a cat named Buffy. Her owner built her a new Star Wars AT-ST playhouse from left over materials from some home renovations. That’s one lucky cat.

Cat AT-STs would have kicked butt on Endor and they could have been controlled from space, where the second Death Star would shine lasers down on targets and watch these kittytroopers pounce on their targets.
