I dont mean to threadjack...
I tried multiple basecoats... and am using acrylics. But they glop upafter the first few strokes if you even attempt to overlap your strokes.
I have taken hours... up to days between attempts to continuue painting.
I havent tried thinning the paint too much... guess thats my next step... multiple thinned down coats, with lots of time between them to ensure they are sufficiently dried.

Yep, sounds like you need to thin your paint, a bit. I don't usually need to wait very long for my acrylic paint to dry. If I am painting and my paint starts to glop like you described, I find that I can thin whats on the brush and work the thinner paint into the glop and smooth it out right there, on the spot. Just be careful about how much thinned paint you have on your brush when working on little areas, like on a head.

Sorry for the thread jack, Pat.

I have acquired the Jangos and Bobas needed to start my Post-Clone Wars Mandos.  Up first is Bardan Skirata, in his Green and Black armor.  I still have to touch him up in places, such as his pouches and waistcoat.  The head fits well, so I also have to get his helmet done too.  Then I can do up my Evolution of Bardan Jusik!





Next is Kal Skirata.  I need to put a few minor touch ups, such as his red sigils and a bit of weathering, but most importantly, I need to find him a HEAD!  He was modeled after Ed Harris, so I need to find a head similar to that one.  I'm also torn on his gauntlets.  I've left them silver for now, but am wondering if I should paint them the same color as his armor.  AND I need to drill a hole in the left one and make his 3-sided knife to slide out of there.




I have 3 more Mandos left to customize, and I'm trying to debate which 3 to do.  I need to do Fi, Ordo, Mereel, Vau, and Kad/Venku.  I already have an awesome idea for Venku, so maybe that'll be one of them.  Also, I don't know some of the others' armor colors, such as Jaing, K'omrk, Prudii, or A'den.  I AM going to make an ARC Trooper Sergeant of A'den, though, since he's the only ARC who is ranked as Sergeant.  I already have the ARC to do it, too.  I'm going to run down the list of Mandos and armor colors, let me know if you know the ones I'm missing...

Vau: Black on Black
Ordo: Red on Red
Mereel: Blue on Blue
Kad: A piece of all of his relatives.
Fi: Red on Grey
Jaing: Grey on Grey with Grey gloves made of Kaminoan!
Prudii: ???
Kom'rk: ???
A'den: ???

Nice work, Pat. I do like me some custom mandos. Where did your head for Bardan Skirata come from?

That's the same head I'm using for my Jedi Knight Bardan Jusik and Clone Wars General Bardan Jusik.  It came from one of those Target Geonosian Conflict 2-packs.  I do need to do a shortened hair version as well to fit inside of the helmet, and give him a beard.  Still, in my mind's eye, Bard'ika will always look like a fresh faced boy!
