Boga - Obi-Wan's Varactyl - a photo on Flickriver

A surprise leaving gift for my good friend Sanel who fittingly goes by the nickname "Boga" this will probably be my last model for a while.

I had great fun bringing Boga to life with bricks and even though this represents about 98% of my collection of dark green (which now proudly sits at Sanel's place) it was more than worth it. I wanted to tackle Boga for a while and this now created the perfect opportunity.

It came together quite quickly over the course of two evenings and then a third one after a couple of Bricklink orders brought the sought-after dark green hands and some other small bits for the last details. I especially enjoyed building the head – I seem to have a thing for animals and creatures lately.

Sanel was over the moon – and so was I, seeing him so happy about the model. And then I got back home from our LUG meetup and saw your feedback – I'm blown away! Thanks!

(Obi-Wan's fancy new hairstyle obviously results from Boga's speedy movement across Utapau, not my atrocious collection of dark orange hair styles ;) )
