Painting wise, this weekend has been moderately successful. Photography wise, not so much. Fortunately, I have managed to take some reasonable photos of my Bantha making. The first step was to find some suitable donor models as a basis for construction.

| Elephant is an eons old giveaway from a cereal packet. The Rhino was part of a set of jungle animals. |
|
The rhino was selected as basis of the MK II Bantha, and thus had its head lopped off and was smothered in a suitable covering of Green Stuff. No photos exist of this stage, despite the original intention to take them. Opps!
 |
| A shaggy coat is roughly sculpted on. |
 |
| The lips are flatter and the eyes are sunk in, a more pleasing look than the MK I. |
 |
| A side view that shows the yakish/bisonish look I was trying for. |
 |
| The shaggy beaver tail. |
 |
| Micro Machines Sandtroopers for scale comparison. |
 |
| The painted beast before it's coat of wash. Micro Machines Sandtrooper Dewback for scale comparison. |
 |
| The frontal view. The eyeholes look suitably small. |
 |
| Again with Sandtroopers. |
 |
| Rear comparison between MK I (left) and MK II (right). MK II has been washed and shagginess of tail stands out well. |
 |
| Bantha Comparisons. The MK II lacks the full lips and beady eyes of the MK I. |
 |
| The wash highlights the shaggy back of the MK II. |
The MK I Bantha has already started to receive a slight make over by getting a coat of wash and having its eyes redone. The Toy elephant shown earlier will be processed into a Bantha as well, with the hopeful addition of some stowage.
 |
| Some technicals were also made this weekend. |
I also made some stuff for Harad, but the photos I took were rubbish. The above photo was the best of around ten - the rest being quite blurry. Still, the more pictures I take, the better I get.
