Sean's 1/6 Bantha project

To go along with my Tusken Raider I started to make his Bantha...

Here it is, all finished! Ha, just joking... Started off with a wire armature made of left over electrical wire. This served mainly as a guide to build the horns so I could gauge the size of the horns. Used armature wire and cardboard tubing to make the shape of horns:



Then used plaster bandage over the cardboard "horns" to build a solid shape:





Then smoothed horns out with plaster and started making ridges:



Then made the wooden armature:



Made his feet out of Sculpey (they look much better in person):



With Sculpy face:



More to come...

My Tusken Raider says "Hurry up already, I got places to go, people to see!"

Are you sure that's why he's itching?

Maybe his wrappings came loose and some sand got in his trousers...
