Nice work, Joe! The snap on leg armor from the apt. Fett might look cool on the legs.
hmmm... maybe when I get some extra cash I can get a pair or two from ya...
very cool.
have you tried using apoxi sculpt? it is a two part self hardening sculpting clay. It works realy well for this sort of thing. I find that if it becomes seperated from what I'm working on it will super glue back on realy well also. you might try that with your helmet.
everything else looks awesome. I don't know that I like the vest assymbly with all the pockets though... Im sure once it is all painted the entire thing will pull together into something more uniform and mando like.
Is it anything like Fixit Sculpt? That's what I used, I also have greenstuff, which I used below, I still love that stuff, and I should have used it instead, has more of a give to it... but this was just a "practice" Mando, lol.. so I'm not too worried about the helmet.
Nice custom! The item that appears to be a rocket launcher sitting next to it is awesome!
That's his backpack, it's I think the space clonetrooper's baackpack with a Snow Serpent missle thing added to the middle. I have to extent the post I made, cause I originally fit it before adding the extra harness, so now it likes to jump off into that deep dark corner of the custom room... so I stopped putting it back on cause my knees were hurting from crawling under the table 50 times to get it out.
Thanks for some of the suggestions everyone... I'll be steal... I mean borrowing some of them, I took a break from the MAnDoNESS and finished up a custom for a contest...
I've always wanted a Tiger Force Snake Eyes, my fav character as a kid and my fav sub group, but I never got it... After seeing the Slaughterhouse version, I had to make a realistic one, but still a hint of Slaughterhouse in it.
So I hacked up one of those toy Tigers... then hollowed out it's skull, and then sculpted on some fur on the back to match with a cheap-o Chap-Mei fur cape. I then dyed the upper body a dark orange to keep the paint from rubbing on the joints, and dremeled out the body to fit on a 25th Joe lower torso and legs. Drybrushed the heck out of it... and there ya go.
I had a lil' diorama for him to stand on, but I had to put it aside to finish this. It had some grass and long weeds, hence his camo pattern on his pants, I guess it'll look better with him in the mini-dio and not my son's desk... but for now, it'll do.
I know it's not Star Wars... but it
is an Anakin torso and upper arms w/ Vos lower arms...
I wasn't able to finish the black tiger stripes... shhhh... maybe they wont notice it for the contest, lol.
