Hello all. I had forgotten that I had never posted pics of the 1:1 scale tauntaun bust I made. I had posted pics of a 3/4 version I had made but this one is a wee bit bigger :)

Ok, way cool.


And so, what was an Ice-Safari on Hoth like?

Bag any Wampas as well?

I like the idea of a wall mounted trophie.

Seems like this one was once domesticated,
since it is mounted with its riding bit and reins :lol

but seriously,
a truly astonishing accoplishment.
 
Thanks again guys for the kind words :) As for how I made the bust I carved it from Styrofoam and then coated with a product called sculpt or coat. I add cotton batten over that while the sculpt or coat is wet and then add more sculpt or coat. While that is still wet I "draw" with a paint brush handle the details. The horns I did the same way. The teeth I sculpted from a 2 part putty epoxy. The fur is just fake fur that I attached and then the snow I bought from a taxidermy shop.

As for a Wampa I would leave that beast to our very own Tom "Wampa" to make. No need to reinvent the wheel :) I would still like to make a dewback though and also a Rancor.
