The Augusta Model Railroad Club models south central Kansas in the present time period.
We imagined what it would be like if Exploration Place Science Museum sponsored an exhibit in which the Technology of Star Wars Machines was explained and demonstrated.
One such example would be the 'Chicken Walker' two legged fighting machine used by the Empire. This is more formerly called the AT-ST which stands for All Terrain Scout Transport.
These exist primarily in digital form only, at least for the movies, but it seems Star Wars fans have constructed full size non working examples. Do a YouTube search if you want to see examples.
For our small scale fantasy world however they exist in real life and are able to be brought in to Wichita on railroad flat cars and assembled. Afterwards they will walk down the streets to go on Display at Exploration Place. The management of all of this is handled by the fictitious 'Kraft Movie Prop' company.
Exploration Place has done a great job of marketing the event with a large media presence including considerable billboard advertising.
Oh my goodness this is awesome! I love the attention to detail, the plastic wrapped storm troopers and the logo on the truck. That's really neat, you did a great job. Did the guys at the club like it?
