Looking good, Crow! I can't wait to see this one painted up.

I don't think you need that many tips, but if you feel brave you can check out Darklord1967's Boba.

[Jedi Minstrel]

Dude!  Awsome work.  Can't wait for the final product.  Your good to go.  No need for extra tips.  Do it your way.

[SITHHAPPENS]

thats a sweet looking mando i think your doing fine by yourself 

[Crow]

thanks guys. hopefully i could finish this by next week. i'll try to look up the works of Clonehead, Wraithnine, Clonesniper78, Lucasclones and Jedi Minstrel. i dont think i can pull of a Darklord1967. hahahaha.

one thing i find difficult is that if i hollow out the boba helmet, i dont actually know if it would fit the Valorum head. i need tips on this. do you guys have any?

There are actually a couple of helmets that could work.  The Mando helmet that came with the Entertainment Earth Exclusives' Elite Forces.  It's not sold any more except on Ebay but if you can get a hold of one of the Mandos it came with, the helmet could fit.  You could check with Clonehead under the "Parts Bin" pages.  He might be able to make a resin copy of one.  Also, the helmet on Jaster Mereel from the latest EE Exclusives could work.

wanna start this year right by posting some WIP photos of what ive been currently working on.
apologize for not being so active, college and work took alot of my time.

SHOGUN VADER:

i know, i know. it's not sumthin new. but i just love the idea, plus i haven't seen one done in 3.75 inches. 
so i tried as much as possible to copy the traditional samurai battle armor will try to maintain the cool things about Vader's costume.

it's 45% done. still have to sculpt the arm armor + the helmet + details + paint. 

[Darth Optimus]

I cannot wait to see how this turns out!

[Clonehead]

Looks great so far.

[Tamer]

Hey, I just posted about this on our Facebook Page. I like it. Time to go to our Web front page now.

[Crow]

woah! FRONTPAGE! thanks a million Tamer.

i'm workin on the helmet right now.. trying to replicate the traditional kabuto helm.

[Tamer]

I look forward to seeing your progress. I remember the Shogun Vader Exclusive that was commemorative for Celebration Japan and almost bought one I liked it so much. It is one of the items that if I see it somewhere along the road I may just buy it.

What you have looks great so far!  Can't wait to see a finalized painted version when you're done. 

This is a really cool concept that deserves the 1/18 treatment!

[Luke Sprywalker]

That is a great looking start to this figure! I love the idea and can't wait to see more!
