The Bantha is one
of several load carrying beasts native to or at least residing on
Tatooine. Unfortunately, a wild bantha isn't the coolest or most
exciting sight in the universe, though it's far more interesting
with a Tusken saddle and rider. For the wild version, I used SNOT
on the sides (on all of it, really, but this is what I'm pointing
out, so go along) and also used 1xX plates to (hopefully) achieve
an appearance of hair. Since LEGO doesn't make any flex hoses in
tan or any other likely piece, I had to opt for using plates for
his horns (with a 1x1 plate with tooth as the tip), which I like
the look of, but they stick out a tad, but it's no big deal. This
all started with the face; I built it at two studs wide, which looked
odd with the eyes that close together and the creature appearing
to be able to see all around him. So I built a really quick face
at three studs, not even intending it to be used--it was more just
a study of how to attach the horns--but it looked pretty dead on,
so I worked from there. I'm pretty happy with the result. Enjoy!
