Hey Clint, you might want to check out our Facebook Page where I shared a trick from JTA about how to shrink a helmet. I talked about it a bit on our last episode of CAFN when we get it posted. Wow, that gal is gonna be awesome. Wouldn't it be great to have a set of molds for these pieces so you could ready make Female Mandos out of any good framed gal action figure? So daggone nice to see you customizing.

thanks guys! It is fun to be working on stuff again and Shawn, it is great having a set of molds to make these pieces although they require a lot of attention to make. You can't just pour em and walk away. These need to be de molded at the right time to facilitate cleaning, thinning, and shaping to confirm to the figure although they can be heated up to make the last part easier.
  And yes, now I have an interest in female figures like I never had before now that I can make these parts. She has got to be a little thing for the chest armor to look right on her.
I could defiantly use more of this specific baroness body.

Thanks, buddy! Shawn, I believe so, it is the one that has a silver spider web design on her lower torso.
I'm concentrating on Tamer's Walker Project today.

taking a break from the female mando, I wanted to practice my figure painting tonight and threw some paint on this phase 1 cody body using his factory paint apps as a paint by number guide for the most part and painted up one of my phase 2 arf trooper helmets to throw onto him.
 No big deal, really. I just wanted to try to hold a brush again. Boy, was I less than steady handed.

Thanks Jay! Now, back to the mando build......



I dove into installing one of the wrist gauntlets today and it went easier than I expected. The baroness figure had a swivel joint below the elbow that was at just the right location for where the top of the gauntlet needed to be so, I chose a drill bit the size of the stock figure's existing lower arm peg and drilled a receiving hole into the top of the gauntlet deep enough to take the full length of the peg. Then, I used a rounded cutting bit with my dremel and reamed out the top of the gauntlet some so that a bit of that lower arm would recess into the gauntlet for a bit of added realism. A larger drill bit would have worked just as well for this task. Now, the gauntlet accepts the peg and is tight enough to be stationary but is allowed to swivel retaining the same articulation as the stock figure had.

Now on the bottom side of the gauntlet, I drilled another hole and reamed the end open a bit once again so that the top of the hand cut from the lower arm of the stock figure could recess into the gauntlet slightly and then drilled a hole in the cut off end of the figure's hand to receive a length of 16ga wire to serve as a pin point and glued both of those pieces together but left the upper swivel joint unglued so that it could still be positioned like the stock figure.

That did go fairly easily and I will probably do the other gauntlet this afternoon.
