Thank you guys! :)

The next figure (animated style Bo-Katan) is going to take some time, but I'll post little sneak peeks here and there. :)

Looking at the animated Mandalorian helmets, with the detail smaller than their realistic counterparts, I began working out in my head how I want to attempt to tackle Bo-Katan's helmet. So by working on the leftover concept Boba Fett helmet I had in my parts bin I added bits of green stuff and sculpted the shorter eye sockets and the "beak" to the T visor. I knew that trying to round out the visor's eye sockets is going to mess this helmet up so I just tried slanting them a bit to see how it would look.

Here is what I have as a working concept piece...now if I have the guts I think I might try to tackle the animated helmet.  ::)

Thanks guys! :)

Well, after several failed attempts to taper the vertical part of the T visor I abandoned that idea. I did add the range finder from the concept Boba helmet and it fits nicely onto the CW helmet without looking out of place, I also reshaped the eyes and added the 'beek' with green stuff...so this is where is stands now awaiting it's paint job.

Looks good so far; nice detailing on the most recent helmet!

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

Guys, I could use some help...what is the best way to pop open a Clone Trooper body to remove the arms?
Thanks much in advance! :)
