LEGO Set 40806-1 – Gingerbread AT-AT Walker: Alternate Build Possibilities

The Gingerbread AT-AT Walker (40806-1) is a delightful seasonal set with a surprisingly versatile parts palette. Underneath the sugary colors, you’ll find a smart mix of structural elements, angled plates, brackets, curved slopes, and cookie-brown tiles that invite you to reimagine classic Star Wars ships in festive form. Those warm browns stand in beautifully for hull panels; white, tan, and nougat accents become snowy frosting lines or decorative piping; and a handful of transparent sprinkles can serve as glowing engine details or cockpit windows. Because the model uses sturdy hinge plates and click joints, you can shape convincing fuselages and wings while keeping everything swooshable for play.

What makes this set especially fun for alternate builds is the way its parts naturally suggest iconic silhouettes. The long plates and slopes can outline saucer rims and arrow-shaped hulls; L-brackets and wedges help capture sharp wing profiles; and small curves let you sculpt domes and turrets without fighting the colorway. Whether you’re aiming for a compact starfighter or a chunky capital ship, you can lean into the gingerbread aesthetic—think icing ridges along panel lines, gumdrop engine cones, and candy-cane striping for accents—to create models that look both instantly recognizable and irresistibly festive. Below you’ll find a curated list of fan-made alternates built from 40806-1 only. Each one showcases a different way to push the set’s parts to their limits while keeping the holiday charm front and center. Have fun picking your favorite, and don’t forget to grab the instructions to build along at home.
