From SanderS: Bantha Pudu! (20 Points)

Hoi,

Only a small entry today, but one I like a lot. Last Challenge I have entered quite some West End Games Star Wars miniatures, this year the only figure of that line I intend to list is this Bantha with rider. It is one of the Holy Grails of the line, now they are OOP, and I am glad to have acquired one. As the dumbo that I am, I managed to loose one of his horns and solved that with some greenstuff, it sure makes him stand out from other versions.

Anyhow, here he is:

Now, I can hear Phil asking me if I can feel the grind of the Challenge since I only list this one figure. The answer to that Phil darling, is no, I have finished my part of the Curtgeld entry this week and shipped it out, I have also been beavering away at my entry for the bonus round for the 5th. So on the contrary I feel quite on a roll at the moment, while I guess I will not reach the 1500 points target I set for myself, I hope to get as far as 1000 points.

So Phil, what amount of points would you grant this model? :-P
Cheers Sander

Hah, cheeky Sander. As Friday Minion, I have a mandate from the great Snowlord to 'encourage' the Friday crew to maximise their paint output. But, as it is a theme week, I will be gracious, and spare the whip.    

This is a very fine bantha and tusken rider. He looks like a particularly mean specimen, with his missing horn. I like how you respond to the rarity of the piece not by leaving it pristine in it's packaging, but by losing some bits and  painting him up for your collection ;-)

I reckon this beast is equivalent to a 28mm vehicle, and I'll award the rider too for 20 points in total. Inching closer to your 1000.
