Thats how I see Mandos Devin. I think they have a few sets of armor like Iron Man based on the combat environment. I saw these new Iron Man figs and immediately thought of what you might be able to come up with based on these. I think this is gonna be outstanding.
I would love to see you do a boba one like this with the vintage paint colors like NFC did and a Mythrosaur skull on the armor somewhere.
Tamer that is the way I also have always thought. I always felt boba's armor was the way it was because (according to traditional, BEFORE the prequels, thinking) his armor was the last known remnants of the mandalorian tradition, that his armor was mismatched in colors and parts because it was cobbled together from several sources... The thought that I always had was that every mandalorian would either
1: have one set of armor that was uniquely theirs in color, style, and fit...
OR
2: have SEVERAL set of specified armor that would reflect the situation they might be in. (ie: stealth armor, snow armor, desert armor, etc)
In my customs I have kind of reflected the second thought process.... but I also believe that both ideas could be adapted into current mythos... in that the original mandalorians in their glory days would have had many suits of armor, many styles, and many specified armor types... but in the tradition's decline, as more and more mandos were wiped out by the civil war, and as mandalore iron became scarce mandalorians began to use a "one armor suits all conditions" generic armor that was then tailored to reflect the individual wearer rather than the environment they were in.... so instead of becomeing just another tool in the mando's repituar the armor became a symbol of self and a way for mandalorians to quickly recognize individuals......
:Psorry I ramble.
as for this custom. I am going to be using a different head as I don't want him to be a clone.... and I will be repainting the figure, possibly sculpting some traditional chest armor, as well as giving him a more traditional mandalorian color scheme....
