Jeremy Olsen
Milton, Wisconsin
Jeremy took this Fantasy Flight Games 1/48 scale AT-RT Unit Expansion to the next level! He modified it extensively with a new rider and head, control panel, antenna, and pedals, fixed up the front armor, and added feet detail. Jeremy finished the model by chipping with hairspray, airbrushing Tamiya, AK Interactive, Vallejo, and Turbo Dork acrylics, and weathering the model with oil paint.

On Saturday, March 4, 2023, modelers attended the Mad City Modelers 27th annual model contest at the Alliant Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Over 100 entrants filled the tables with their amazing work. Some visitors even stopped by from the Totally Rad Vintage Fest event that was held there simultaneously to be awestruck by the scale modeling talent. Here are some of the FineScale Modeler editors’ favorites!
