Bad news… The wampa is being scrapped
Did a full costume test fitting of the wampa today and it’s just not working. One disaster after another. Claustrophobia and heat are a huge factor in the problems. But also the head slipping, causing the mouth not to open. It would take stripping out the inner head and remaking it. Months worth of work. But i’ve spent too much time and money on it now and i really don’t think that spending the extra is worth it. It was a long shot that failed and I’m sorry. I really wanted to be able to do this. But there comes a time when you just have to stop. Maybe its the curse of the Wampa. 😉
Good news… ESB:R will be out very soon. Check back in a couple of days for an update…
Even if it ended up being a disappointment, you at least got some other things that seemed impossible to be fixed done like the Han in Carbonite replica and I suppose the hanger set pieces.
I’d suggest not scrapping the wampa entirely for now, but possibly leaving it for the future when your ready to tackle it again.
