Topic: NEW!Return of the JediMindtrix!

[JediMindtrix]

@jedimerc,actually he's gone through one more phase of customizing.after my chat with Doc on here,I noticed some things that needed tweaking,so I'll put up what I hope is the finall shots of him tonight.BTW,thats a regular style clone wars body on him,not an animated one,I know he looks thin,and I wish I could remeber what clone it was I used.thanx for the comment.

[JediMindtrix]

some new and what I hope are my final updates for this mando Kell Malric.may apply some touch ups on the paint here & there,but I doubt I'll be adding anything else to him.if you'll notice I changed his breathing apparatus on his Helmet,and painted the rest of his holsters,they really looked bad before.I started off with a great concept,but thanx to Doc Outlands for pointing out how bad the Helmet part looked,I found a size slightly smaller compared to the first design,and I painted this a different color as well,the red looked out of place.

a few shots of the Helmet by it's self.I also modified the range finder so it actually works.I cut the old one off,and removed this one from another Boba Fett helmet,then used a pin to place through the new range finder,& then through the Helmet.I cut the pin a little more then half way off,then once through the helmet,bent the rest of it flat against the inside.hope it looks good,and gives you guys some good ideas for some mods to your mandos.Enjoy.

Very cool, thanks for the close up shots.

Nice work.  I particularly like that mando and LOVE the custom figure stand!

Okay so thanks for the info on the emperors hood and your rock making technique. I like where you are going with this Mando but I think the visor paint needs some love, if you are having trouble getting a smooth finish with your paints I got a little secret for ya. The most amazing Acrylic paint smoother is the "Airbrush Medium" made by "Liquitex" this is not something you will find at a craft store so you might need to order online but it will make your custom world very happy. If you get some and need some tips hit me up.

So I found a site that has the airbrush medium I was talking about for a decent price and I wanted to give you the link, http://www.dickblick.com/products/liquitex-airbrush-medium/

The other thing I wanted to mention is if you have a little money that you are able to invest in Liquitex paints they really are amazing, great color and coverage which also helps get a clean finish because you only need one or two coates. Hope this helps you out and agian if you have questions just ask!

JM - definitely a well-blended fig at this point!  Dropping the size of the breath-cannister definitely helps him look less unwieldy.

Yakface - thanks for the paint info, I've never encountered Liquitex paints (to my knowledge).

That is a sharp looking mando indeed. That does it, I am going to have to mold that shoulder armor piece as I have been putting it off for sometime.
