Thanks for all the great comments 
I have to admit I was a bit nervous taking this on as I know it's not going to be 100% screen accurate (I have neither the money or skills to do something that awesome) and I didn't want to disappoint the ESB fans out there.

The fur is acrylic so it will hold up ok in light snow, but I don't intend on getting it overly wet as the foam will probably not hold up too well. As for the seams, I haven't finished closing them all off so most of them are still quite visible. I'll have to see how it looks when I'm finished to determine that. Keep in mind that I still have to add a saddle, fake legs, etc so a lot of the torso will be covered. And a few of the lines you see are folds in the fabric

Looks awesome! I am looking forward to seeing the final project. Great job on fur. It looks espcially good.

You gonna keep her clean..or do the Hoth look and throw some snow and frost on her? Looks great so far!
I have seen this one in person, and the pictures dont do it justice. Yours is coming along nicely though.
I remember checking yours out when looking for reference pictures. You had Wolftronix do the electronics right? I can't imagine what that must have cost!
I've been considering adding some snow to it, we'll have to see how things go.
I don't remember all the details from your build (I'm at work right now) but were you able to actually ride yours and have it walk around? I can see from the picture you posted that it's set up on a wheeled frame. Was that just for when it was stationary or did you need to have them in place to sit on top?
Not the best weekend to try and get work done on the costume (Thanksgiving here in Canada), but I've made some progress on the head. I gave it a quick coat of grey primer and I'm actually happy with it as a base colour. I'm going to highlight with a bit of brown, but overall I think it's going to be kept mostly grey.
For the purists out there, I know it's not screen accurate, but this is my interpretation. I've taken inspiration from RussellSculpts - If I recall, he mentioned that he might do a rider costume someday as well.
Next up - ears, eyes and the smaller horns above the brow. I should have the head done and attached to the body by the end of the week. Then all that is left is to attach the legs to the body and build up my saddle.
Sorry about the bad pics. I promise to post some high res ones of the completed build.
