Hi All,

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.

Cheers buddy and I went to use faux but it made the tauntaun to bulky.

Wow this looks good on the front pages. So fantastic, I do believe this looks better to me than some of the higher end statues of these!

Hi All,

Started on Solo tonight and so far I glued the joints in place and I used plasticine to fill in the joints. The reason I used plasticine is the tissue once attached will keep it secure and the watered down PVA hardens the top layer but keeps the inner plasticine soft so it can move so that it won't crack or come away from the plastic.

The goggles have had the lens section cut out and I replaced it with a thin piece of clear plastic and once glued in place I then trimmed the excess away.

Hi All,

The Tauntaun and Solo and 95% complete I just now have to add some minor weathering and then attach to a base that I'm making now then add the snow.

Solo was painted using Vallejo paints and yeas I did the jacket Brown as I think it looks heaps better then the blue. The fur is from a old 12" Hoth Indy which I cut out and glued on and the scarfs are just some left over cloth.

Daggone that looks good! Love the trim around Han's hood.

I know what will be fronting the pages tomorrow!

Great work Ron. That brown coat does look good.

Hi All,

The dio is now complete.

The base is built up using high density foam and the snow on the base is spakfilla mixed with some PVA glue and a small amount of water and then it was spread over the base. The snow on the figures was down again using the spakfilla mix but this time I dapped it over the figures to give that fallen snow look.
