Ron, this Taun Taun looks better than the new version Sideshow put out for major bucks. Filling in those joints is amazing! Off to share.

Your welcome. I was having a discussion just this morning of realism compared to movement with a certain young lady. It looks great.

LOL, I just read the PM and yeah she is like my boy articulation is a most but you doesn't want articulation in their figures if you are going to be playing with them.

Hi All,

More work done.

I destroyed the saddle and reins and straps and redid them by cutting leather strips and for the rings I used metal O-rings and 1/6th metal buckles.

The saddle is the one from the figure and I cut it out and covered it leather, I buggered up the top of the saddle by not gluing it down but once the figure is on top you wont notice it. T

he under cover was done by cutting out the design on paper and then using cotton wool to give it a fur/wool feel to it.

The rolls I used 1/6th fur lining from a WW2 German winter jacket and 1/6th buckles and the tent I used some old material and some sewer stick. The small pouch is from a 1/6th German MP40 pouch and the transmitters straps were covered with leather.

Hi All,

The gear as been attached to the saddle and the pouch on the right side is a 1/6 German ammo pouch cut to size and painted, the Binos and Transmitter have had the straps added by using thin cut leather.

The stirrups were cut taken off and the plastic straps were taken off and replaced with real leather and O-rings. I still need to do some weathering to the gear but won't do that till Solo has been done and attached.

 This tauntaun is turning out really great. I mean really great. I thought about putting faux fur on the creature but, you way is the best.
