DYoung Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Troops you have to check this out! Good day brothers and sisters, I want to share some photos of my new RIDE. Starting mid April, I've been putting all my efforts into HER for Celebration Japan. I'm sorry, this was why I was slow in replying emails. She is approximately 4.5 meters long, 2.5 meters wide (including the base), 1.8 meters high and weigh about 400 kilograms. Full fiberglass body with metal framework and base so people can even sit on the back and take photos. I used more than 2200 lbs. (1 ton) of clay just to sculpt her. Unfortunately I did not like Special Edition CGI version... So I decided to do a hybrid version of an original ANH head and Gentle Giant body. As far as I know, in ANH the body was just a crappy rhino body... SPECIAL THANKS my crew and those who supported me to make this happen! More photos are coming after CJ. Please let me know what you think. Best regards, Goro These last two won't link up, but YOU HAVE TO SEE IT!!! http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f107/Gor...ite/baby-13.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f107/Gor...ite/baby-14.jpg OMG!!!!!

TK7036 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Most amazing piece of craft! I so regret not going to Japan and probably be one of the first sandtroopers to get a pic with your masterpiece. Wish you success debut in Japan and I have no doubt it will be the highlight of the show. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I really, REALLY want a picture on the back of that guy. All hail Master Goro, that prop is better than what they used in the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD2802 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 My thoughts exactly. Pretty soon, we'll be making a run of prods and tornisters to make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
