if you dont mind, I have an idea for a mando that I`d like to see some one on here try. I was thinking of a mando from millions of years before episode 1 with a kind of samuri theme to the armor. The story that I imagine about is when the people are collonizing the planet and they are fending off the animals and a native tribe of some kind, and then I asume that blasters were still a new weapon and they used projectiles alot.

The reason I`m posting it on here is because I think this is something you could do plus you make a lot of mandos so...

its just a sujestion that I`m giving to see if anyone is up for the challenge, I cant do this kind of thing though; all I do is paint.
...Jareth Sartoris never found out what ICO Austin had seen back there.

I like it!  Just remember that Mandalorians are from Coruscant and about several millenia ago were driven off by humans.  If you look up Mandalorian and Taung on Wookieepedia, you can see that the way there head is shaped that a helmet with some kind of appendage would be used and may mimic the front appendage you sometimes see on a samurai helmet.  Hmmmm.  Let me see.  If I don't do it soon, it would definitely be a summer project.  Thanks for the recommendation.

Years ago, I saw a street artist use spray paint and create something like this.  He took a couple of colors or so and sprayed layers on a board (heavy construction paper).  Next, he took a couple different ized bowls and placed them upside down over the colors.  He then, sprayed black over the whole thing.  He kind of blocked the white so that it dripped down on it to create the stars.  In between each step he would take a certain paint can, light the spray on fire with a lighter, and held it over the board.  He then lifted the bowls and there you got the planets.  I actually, tried it a couple of times myself.  There are some other affects he did like while the paint was still wet, he'd smear it in a way to create mountain peaks or other things.

 The one I used for my background was actually from an old roommate.  I had it in storage for years and finally got it out to use for my backgrounds.  I will see about showing the whole thing soon, as well as, the ones I did.  Maybe I'll do a step by step of the process as a tutorial this summer.  hmmm.

Awesome mandos! I am amazed at the painting detail. I just can't paint that good.
