Thanks Sturtrup. 
I finally got some boots that I was happy with for Garon Nas Tal. I am calling him finished. I have been trying to piece together the outfits for the 2 ANH Saurins I want to do, they are up next.
A couple of him in Jabba's Palace....

Those boots and everything else looks great.
This is one of my favorite places to visit.

Thanks Steven.
I started the process of applying fur to my Yak Face sculpt. Still a work in progress. I plan on thinning it out a bit and adding some below the chin and jawline. Here is where I am at so far...

Thanks Nate.
I finished the fur on the head. I added some more around the sides of his snout and along the back of the jawbone.
I also started painting the arms/hands. I have got a nice base down. I am going to let it sit for a while before I go in and do all the touchup/gloss work around the nails etc.
Next up will be to add fur around the neck and chest area, that should be interesting.

I can probably come up with a dozen different names for this character, and I don't think any of them would be "Yak Face" - not sure what Kenner/LFL were thinking. Anyway, I'd loving the work you're doing on this guy, especially the furring process which I have no doubt is super tedious. Do you have any behind-the-scenes tips for this? And will you be working on his twin brother, Camel-Toe?

Yeah, the name "Yak-Face" doesn't really make sense. "Camel" cigarettes were pretty poplular in the late 70s, early 80s. Was the prop builders name "Joe"??
Yes the fur work is very tedious. I apply Loctite super glue with a cotton swab to the areas on the sculpt where I want the fur to stick. I then cut the fur from the main piece at the angle that best helps the piece hang from the sculpt the way I want it to. Sorry I dont have any pics. I then let dry, pull off excess that doesn't stick and move on to the next area. I basically worked clockwise around the snout. I hope this makes sense. I wore rubber gloves. Anyone who has applied fur with glue knows that their is much trial and error involved. I did go back and add pieces here and there to achieve the look I was going for.
When I fur the neck, I will take some work in progress pictures.
Absolutely great work.
Would love to see all of those beside JABBA and in a Cantina

I have started furring the neck area on Yak Face. This area is much thicker than the sculpt. Because the fur is thicker, I am able to leave the fabric strips attached to the fur. When I was furring the face, the fur had to be removed from the fabric and placed directly on the sculpt.
Before cutting the piece into strips, I fold the fur upwards and then cut. This way the fur hangs hiding the strips.
I then apply glue to the area where I need the strips to stick..
Here is where I am at so far. I am just working my way around the sculpt. There is quite a bit of excess. This will be trimmed later.
I know these are not the best pics, but it is difficult to take work in progress shots when doing this as it is quite messy. I hope this helps.

I think the photos do a fine job of showing the process - along with the tip to fold the fur back opposite of its natural drape before cutting.

Yak is gonna be freakin awesome man. Absolutely stunning work so far.......
Thanks guys, Glad you two still pop in from time to time.
I miss seeing your Star Wars customs.I finally got a proper sweater and pants for my second Saurin, Hrchek Kal Fas from ANH. I did one of these a while back, but was never totally satisfied with it. Here we go on attempt number two.
