Josh -  Soon.  There were some unforeseen problems/limitations with the site where some of these shots are concerned, and they 'cut off' after a certain amount in PMs.  As I can't risk the same happening with the final post onto the actual thread, I've had to spend more time putting them into sections, ready for posting one after the other. So time has been taken up trying to sort out this out seperately, and certain shots seemed to want to come out a different size or not at all.  After a bit of playing about, I've been able to get something like what was originally intended now, but it's now finding the time to finish up all the relevant comments in-between them, that is the latest hold-up.  All I can tell you is that I hope to have them up sometime during the next 3 days.

 

Re:the Wampa 'horns' -  There is no doubt that that the 1st original suit ('puppet') has it's horns in place under all that fur, and there is what looks like the gnarly, cut-off 'stump' of one of them sticking out, that is easily seen too, when you study a screenshot.  And this version of the Wampa looks great.  Unfortunately, the 2nd original suit ('man inside') version, where it 'lunges' towards us in the cave, has a totally different look to both it facial features, it's ears, and the shape of it's horns.  It is a very different design to the 'puppet' version.  The ears on the 'puppet' are noticeable in it's second brief appearance with Luke and the Taun-Taun, but they are more discrete, and don't 'stick up' so prominently on the very top of it's head, as the ones on the 2nd version do.  The 'horns' on this 2nd one are very smooth, and stick out a lot at the side of it, compared to where the ones on the 1st version seem to be, had they not been covered in fur.  It is a very brief shot, at the end of the day, but the differences are there.  The SE version that is being dropped by Adywan, was very different again, but I preferred the look of the horns on that one, compared to the 2nd original ('man in suit') one.  The question is whether Adywan tries to match the 2 remaining designs a little, or not, and if he does, does he match the look of the 'horns' on the 1st one, or the 2nd one, or even the SE one...  There is no right way or wrong way at the end of the day, but if Adywan doesn't add the hint of a 'second' Wampa in the cave, then it would be nice for these 2 versions to better match a little.  If he leaves them both different, and doesn't try to match them, then that's okay too, as it's not straight-forward.
