Aw Ennis :( I also experianced a tiny setback on my female mandalorian. Comparing the arms to my last female mando arms, a regular mando arms and even a wookie, they seem huge. Ive decided to save the arms and eventually use them on another yellow and gray mandorian some time in the future. Perhaps a male fellow clan member of my female mando ;) I think what Im going to do is dremel off the shoulder armor and gauntlets from a new saga fett and glue em onto a good articulated female arm. Itll be smaller that way and will look better when completed. I probably shouldve waited to paint and stuff untill i actually had the complete figure in my hands but I was so anxious :P

Well I still cant find the freaking camera lol. Ill just say that its a jedi and 2 mandalorians in the update as well as some more parts of the female mando. Prolly more to add by the time I find the dumb camera. Hope my dad didnt accidently take it home with him when he came over! Ill have to call...

Oh and I think I posted it before, but deviantart has some good mando pics, both male and female. There is one that someone did for another mandalorian fan - "resiliant" and it looks so freakin awesome that I did a custom of one of them, and thats one of the mandos in the update. Theres also a cool camo mando thats awesome.

Cant wait to get my WIP slate done and be able to show you all the mandos Ive been working on last week and this week. And that articulated Commander Cody.

Oh and last thing - if any of yall would like to help me finish up some of these customs, I could really use these parts. Thank you so much fellow JD'ers!!! Yall rock!!! :)

2 Clone Commander Kamas, a premade soft goods kama attached to a clone belt by someone who knows what they are doing, (unlike me ;)) Assajj Ventress Torso from the Jedi VS Sith battlepack, Luminara Unduli arms, POTF Slave Leia head, Ewok Celebration Leia head including the soft goods hair, a ROTS Dooku soft goods cape, 3 ROTS Captain Antilles head and neckposts, and finally the head and poncho of a child Boba Fett Kamino Escape.

Well, sorry guys. Got the figures done. Well the ones that were almost done got finished and then the other ones got more work done on them. I had them all set up for pics for the "Sunday Update" when what do you know, I couldn't find the camera! Ugh!

Great job! I commented over at RS of course too.


hyouriittai who else made a female mandalorian? I always like to see other mando customs and I can remeber any other females besides my own. EDIT: Oh yea, Owen made one, right?

Thanks Chewie and Ron!

I agree Darth_Ennis. It is alot harder to make one of these than it seems. You know I like those arms alot but when I put them next to the legs and pelvis that I have, they seem to big. Guess I'll have to sand them down and repaint later. Oh and make sure you post pics of your female mando when you are done, ok? ;D

Quoted from my thread on RS again. Can't really see it in the picture but I put a ton of effort into these.  First finding the parts and putting them together. Then I painted the flightsuit dolphin gray. Painted the armor yellow and gave it a very slight goldish water wash. Then a very small white drybrush on the flightsuit. Better than the older custom's arms for sure!

*More boiling and popping and testing out things*

Added some desperate needs to my tradelist for this custom. Finished the arms and the helmet is going to be ready tomarrow.

Another quote from RS...

This is how I made the arms. Far better than the arms on the older figure if you ask me. More articulation and less sculpey. Made from XD Army figure arms and tank gunner hands. Cut the shoulder pads off of the snap on Jango armor and got the snap on gauntlets from that same figure.
Arms, helmet, lower legs are ready to be painted I guess. Still need slave leia head, #33 CC kama, and a ROTS Dooku cape. And of course any ideas for the torso, crotch, and upper legs. :)

Cody almost completed, need to finish his helmet. Guees what? I've got nothing to do for the rest of the weekend but customize... and that means a big update Sunday night! Yay! Since so many on my WIP bench are practically done, I've started a new custom. I'll quote form RS:

Once again, I'll be making a female mandalorian. Another Yellow one so that I can compare them most likely. My main goals are to make an improved custom with more articulation, better armor and less sculpey and a fitting helmet.

Here is a picture of the older version:

I thought it was pretty good but my painting and sculpting skills have gotten better and I have more parts to use now then I did back then.

What I really need is  Ideas on is the thighs (upper legs above knees) and the crotch area. I was thinking Jango crotch or Boba crotch but I don't know.  Oh and ideas for a chest would help too. I've got a few female parts in a deal that I'm working on right now... but your ideas for what torsos to use are welcome. Here is what I have so far:

I don't plan on using those legs because they look too short for some reason.
Here is the ref pic that I'll be using.

So, ideas on what other parts to use are needed. And if anyone can trade me a slave leia head, #33 CC kama, and a ROTS Dooku cape, that'd be fantastic aswell. Updates to come!

Cody is coming right along. Still need a fitting removable helmet and I have to add the armband that he is holding. Then comes the more accurate paint. He still has  shoulder articulation so I'm happy :)

Great Job!

Haven't said anything about your customs since I actually joined but man I love them. All your mandalorians have been fantastic and I love the custom armor design of your green clone legion guys. What BBi head is the one on the right mandalorian WIP? I've got to find some better BBi heads around here beccause right now none of my spare heads fit in a mando helmet! ;D
