Am I correct in thinking that not only is this gonna have lower arm articulation but wrist articulation too? Awesome pictures with how to do this Clint. Off to the front page with this again!

Nope, I fixed the wrist joint down low to be solid. She already had a swivel joint at the shoulder and at the elbow and still has a swivel joint at the top of the wrist gauntlet. I figured that was enough.
Thanks Spry, Ghostskull, MA, and Clone10!
Thanks for the fp again, buddy. I will try to get the other gauntlet on today.

I got the other gauntlet on this morning without too much trouble.
  I wanted to show you a mock up of her alternate helmeted head which has a shaved down version of the vizsla head inside with her hair poking out from under the helmet. Was it Kulan who did a photonovel story that featured a mando with a rots visor on his helmet? I remember thinking it looked pretty cool so I whipped up a cw version to pose on this helmet to see what it would look like. I still need to move the lower locks of mrs vizsla's hair to properly pose her head on my figure so for now, I threw her onto a cw clone body that was laying around.

What do you guys think? Does it look hokey?

That looks AMAZING!!!! I can't wait to see her finished! Do you make casts of the armor? I'd love to make one like yours. 0//

The helmet with the locks protruding looks so cool, it's hard to say how much.
I wish Hasbro would follow threads like this one to see how it's done.

I do indeed, DaBooma
I've got one for sale on ebay now but if you didnt want to wait, we might be able to work something out.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Once I work out the neck nub and hair issues with this figure, I should be able to start painting.

Thanks dudes!
I wanted to show you this cape that I am going to modify to work for our figure. This one came from the Mquarrie concept obi wan and while it looks pretty cool like this, I plan on cutting off that chest piece to have it terminate at the shoulder clasps. That way, we dont cover up her chest armor. That vizsla head is the latest cast of one and I was able to manipulate the ends of her hair to clear the armor and cape at her shoulders and i even trimmed some strand detail onto her hair ends.

This just keeps getting better and better!  Nice choice on the cape too.

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!
