1:1 Star Wars Tauntaun Bust Sculpt

[psimon]

Figuring out where the horns on the top of the head will need to go. These will probably be sculpted seperately and cast in resin then placed on the head sculpt so the fur can be easily sculpted around them without compromising their detail. Don't mind the placment of the ears in these pics as they are just resting on the back board and not positioned correctly.

No updates yet. I hate it when life gets in the way of fun. :unsure

I started a 1/4 tauntaun full figure and am looking for any 'Behind the Scenes' pics of the full size prop to help me with both my 1:1 tauntaun bust and 1/4 tauntaun figure (preferably stuff that is not already posted to teh NET).

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Paul

Woah, great idea! A Full-Size Tauntaun sculpt wasn't something I ever expected to see, but it sounds great. Will be following this with great interest!

The bust will be full size but the full body figure will only be 1/4 scale (around 28 inches tall)

I used to own an original plaster cast of the Taun Taun sculpt which was used to generate the hair nets for the fur.

If you're interested I'll dig the photos out and post them.

Here you go, I thought it was an impressive piece and certainly big, the only thing missing were the horns but they weren't required to make the fur.

Hope they help?

Alas, poor Tauntaun! I knew him, Horatio.
