Guys that is a generic armature that covers all body movement, like I said this will be adapted to the sculpt, I dont really think we could have such an amazing Taun with a naff Teefal type Luke, come on now.... have some faith! :lol

Quick update of sorts... New forearm's & calf sections are to be fitted as they are too short & a few other mods as well, The latex has been delayed due to the poor weather in Ohio, so hopefully this will ship Monday weather permitting! As soon as it arrives then a simple wire frame pull will be done to see what poses we can get & also to work on the Fur application. Fur trials are underway with some success but using a special wax to hold the fur together while the hide is removed didn't work too well so its kinda cool that the same glue that was used by Phil Tippett will now be used on this Taun as well. Its becoming more true to the original than I could've ever hoped for.
Thanks for the update Jim, speak to ya next week mate.

The first pull is done, I havent got long as Im on my way to the airport in 5 mins but here she is in all her latex glory. The molds worked perfectly. Luke should be ready to start t the weekend, & this now means the fur tests can begin asap

Great project Guy. Really looking forward to seeing the Luke figure sat astride the beast.

Agreed Nick, too long many of the ESB props were just not replicated, be it, nigh on impossible, or just too darn hard to ID and build.
So much has changed in the past year, and were now seeing so may cool items from the best in the Trilogy, Cloud cars, Snowspeeders (ahem lol) ATST's, and now of all the most insane, a real deal, stop motion Taun :eek
