A bit of a flashback Monday, hearkening back to when we put together a Wampa cave lo those many moons ago (early May).
We wanted to use hinge pieces to be able to access the inside of the cave, giving the scary lair from "Empire Strikes Back" a confined default look that could expand to show bones and assorted meat and fish products on the interior.
To make the cave even more intimidating and forebidding, we added a number of detail pieces along the outer edges: tusks, bones, totems, and various symbols intended to frighten visitors away.
As a final touch, we turned to Gorilla Grodd, a hand-me-down from my nephew. We decided that painting the gorilla white would make it look enough like the Wampa to pass muster.
The Wampa cave is situated near our expanded Echo Base, making for a nice start to a fully realized Hoth situation.
Next challenge? Finding a way to organically to work my Cliff from "Cheers" into the landscape as Major Bren Derlin.
