I got a deal on some vintage SW and a damaged tauntaun was one item in the lot. I repaired the damaged hand with superglue and Sculpey. Then I painted the entire thing a medium gray and proceded to dry brush the belly white and back a dark gray. The horns and nails were painted an off white and added a brown wash. The snout was painted a pink flesh color and also got a brown wash. The saddle is made from and old rag and the straps that hold it on are old shoelaces. I drilled a small hole on the tauntaun's left side, just below the saddle and above the rear leg, so it is possible to snap on a Hoth backpack to the animal. The bit is a toothpick and the rein is a piece of thick string. I added a bedroll and accessories to the back of the saddle and, lastly, some stirrups made from some thin wire.
