Spud got me to look into GI Joe figures for Star Wars customs and I decided to re-launch my most recent Mandalorian character.
True to his backstory, it has to be a really badaxx type of guy, instant death on legs, a bad news type whom you don’t want to meet in a dark alley or on the battlefield.
An here some detail shots of the making-of this custom.
I started by taking three of the new ROC Joes apart by the method Spud described in his great video tutorial. Altogether, I needed parts from five Joes.
Let's start with the parts and test-fitting:

Rinsing the figure with warm water in preparation of the basecoat:
