mandalorian Elite
« on: January 04, 2011, 02:39:06 PM »
Hey guys.  I'm needing a couple of the mandalorian elite forces EE exclusive female mandos for a customs project....

can anyone help me out?  I've searched e-bay and all the listings are 21+ bucks.  I'd rather not spend that for something I'll probably just cut up.   If I have to I might be able to make one of the scarlett joe figures work for the project but I'd like one of these...

if you can hook me up I'll pay-pal payment or work out a trade. 

thanks.

I'll keep an eye out, but these are some very sought after figures for sure.  I haven't seen a set of them for less than $100, and I've been looking HARD, too.

Good luck.  "Hen's teeth" and "solid gold" are terms that come to mind...

Devin, I've got Isabet Reau and Rav Bralor.
Would trade for a Galen Marek (not in Mando armor, but the other one) and a Rahm Kota.

Spud, if you are still looking, slayerdesignstudio.com has a new-sculpt female mando torso available now.  Torso only, designed for use with Joe parts.  I have one on order.  ;D

If I tried it, I doubt I'd be doing it any cheaper.  Multi-part molds are a bear to get right.

thanks for the link doc... I might look into getting one of those.  OR... just sculpt one myself, which I've done in the past.

What about just a front chest plate that might fit in front of the chest of a modified figure, Devin?

That might work Clint.  I might be able to modify an apartment jango into a female set that could fit over a female joe or sw fig.

I was thinking more along the lines of molding just the front of an elite forces female mando body and then hollowing out the backside so it might be able to fit over the front of say, a shaved down agent helix body. I might have to compare the two figures for size but think that it could be a possibility.

That might work.  Definitely be an interesting experiment!

it'd be an expensive expiriment...

I'd make an impression mold of a figure, fill it with resin, let it harden, and then sand out the coppy so that you don't ruin the original.
