This piece has floored a few people and proves to very popular at shows. The idea came from discussions with MSFM member Vaughn as to what we could build for an AT-AT contest our  group was having. 

The kits used were the AT-AT and the Scout Walker. The Rancor is a child's toy that had the joints filled and was repainted. The ball is a Micro-Machine Death Star, and the TV remote is a Micro-Machine Millennium Falcon
.
   
Other than repositioning the legs, the only modification to the models was to lengthen the neck ring on the AT-AT to get the desired angle and to reposition the tabs on the feet to hold the remote control and the cup.

The couch is made from balsa wood with clothespin legs. The TV is a picture frame with a balsa wood stand and the "Empire Strikes Back" scene was cut from a cereal box.

The fireplace is also a picture frame with the fire coming from a picture in a catalogue.
