Thanks Ultimate Weapon,no it is not 1:6,it is smaller.The original is also not 1:6.
The plan was to cast it,but i speak to someone who make castings,and he said that i had do some prearrangement mistakes ,so that it is very impossible to do this.I hope the next project i make it better!!!

I had a feeling neither yours nor the original was 1:6 - thanks for clarifying!

It's too bad you won't be able to cast it because it would definitely be a unique piece to be able to own, but it doesn't at all distract from the amazing work you've done.

Are you planning on putting together a Luke for it as well to finish the project?

By the way:

What sculpting material are you using for it? I would like to play around with it sometime and see what I could do with it.

Looks great! There is currently an auction going on that is selling some SW stuff, and there are some original Taun Taun armatures and heads starting at $15,000. Just copied some pics for your reference.

Thanks again,the next steps for me are to make some details,paint the TaunTaun,and make a snowbase (a little diorama).No Luke,or better no Han figure,because that pose from the TaunTaun is in the scene where Han leave the TaunTaun to rescue Luke (in this moment,the dream pose from the Taun Taun for me).

Thanks for your interest!

Beautiful job, it really comes to life with the paint job.
Also your collection is stunning, one of the best private displays that I've ever seen. Keep up the great work.

The Taun Taun always looked to me a bit like Phil Tippit's shop sculpted over T-Rex parts, so many proportions are the same.

I continue to be impressed.
