That second helmet looks awesome. Can't wait to see it with paint!

Thanks guys!
It's going to be slow going, but I think the final character will be worth the wait. :)

Botwt - I heat mine up ala boil and pop, then use a craft knife to pop open the join...

Hope this helps - cant wait to see your next figure!

Regards

Thanks Ray, so the boil and pop will work getting the arms out of a hard Clone body? I will give it a try along with Mr. Sprywalker's suggestion! :)


Here is a Clone I finished off while I work on Bo-Katan...

Wow great clone! Love the clean apps  :D

I haven't been able to get the upper arms out of any GI Joe stylee two part Clone body just by boiling and popping sadly, i've had to use the boiling water to soften the actual torso and the shuck it open under the arm pit (like an oyster!) with a craft knife.

It is something to do with how the shoulder join works - I have the same problem when using Joes... Sorry mate I didn't make myself clear :(

Thanks Ray...that does make sense. I'll just boil the hell out of it for a couple of minutes and then get cracking on the armpit (pun not necessarily intended :) ).

Looks great Botwt. Back on the front page. That Bo-Katan is going to be awesome.

Great looking Clone but I am most interested in that WIP of Bo. That is a great base you have parted out!

Thanks! :)
I was surprised how well the realistic upper half matched up in scale with the animated parts...she will be a near perfect fit for the other CW Mandalorians I will have her displayed with.

Wow!, awesome mix of parts. I'm also surprised how well those parts match up in size. It already looks cool without any paint apps or head. lol
