    Jul 10, 2012 - Life size Luke on Tauntaun, PICS! #1
    Hello everyone,

    Just wanted to post some pics of my latest replica, a life size Luke riding a tauntaun!


    This piece started out as just a bust of the tauntaun but after completing it my customer decided that he wanted to take it to another level and go with a full figure with Luke in the saddle! I constructed the tauntaun, the base and also the saddle and most of the accessories. The Luke costume my customer was able to provide for me which I then fit to modified mannequin.


    This had to be one of the most challenging pieces I have made to date however it was also one of the most rewarding. I would like to thank my customer for having enough faith in me to pull this project off

    My new website is below if you would like to check out more pics of the tauntaun. If anyone has any questions about this build feel free to ask away!

    Man, you've nailed it. If your customer is anything less than ecstatic, I'm not sure it would be possible to please him.

    Excellent work!

    Holy geez, that's fantastic! The detail in the face of the tauntaun really is exquisite!

    Is this an outdoor sculpture? If so, I hope it's going to be someplace where there's snow? I have to imagine it'd look spectacular against an actual snowscape.

    Also... does the stomach unzip ?

    Without a doubt, this is probably THE most impressive piece of work I have seen on this site. Absolutely incredible.
    Actually, I hate it (because I can't have it)!

    Outstanding work!

    There are things that you think about that you think you will never see.

    If you are not a member of the RPF then you never get to see those impossible things like this masterpiece!

    In other words...

    Seriously the coolest prop statue I have ever seen. Customer was right to add the Luke figure, that takes it to a whole new level. But, man that creature is incredible!
    Site looks great sir!

    By the way Rich, you owe me phone call...the man cave is calling us.
