GG Luke on Taun Taun-Major sculpting mistake - Page 2

I thought it looked great actually. Nothing really stood out as being out of proportion like to an extent. It's really a nice size too. I was surprised that the Biker Scout on Swoop looks pretty small. I'd pay like $100-115 for that. But that's just me

Hola Gianco,
No I haven't seen the Taun-taun in person (hardly living in Spain

) but from the pics its easy to see. I come from the modelling and fine-art, and sadly (or luckylly) my eye is over trained to catch this things.

I think GG do care about detail, but they are not realy reference obessive, per examble their Speeder bike is too small (10%) when compared to the biker.

I know there were different proportions on the Taun-Taun, and the stop motion puppet is smaller in proportion than the full size, but being the small the one they used for reference to build the prop, I can't see no reason why they make the GG Taun-Taun so big.

This is my never asked question... if you put your time, money an effort in doing something, why don't you make it perfect?

My two cents

VIKING28- do you have more detail pics of the Taun-Taun... in that case would you mind to pm me?

Same opinion. Proportions are much more important than details...

However I haven't seen any good GG Taun Taun pics, so I can't say anything about it.

I'm sure it will look fine. I like these clear pics of Boba though. So is everyone now cool with the "come here let me examine your prostate" pose??? I still think they should have had the other arm in a different pose. Even giving the middle finger ala CK13

would have been better.

Same opinion, not the best pose...

The bust is better...

Yep definitely that is not a pose proper for Boba. The character is much calmer and cool... so sure of himself. Tha defying pose doesn't fit my idea of Boba, plus the ballerina pose on the legs does not help much either lol

Other than that I do love all the detailing they put in the sculpt, shame they didn't go for ESB version!

Regards
