Who's torso is in the last body pictured with the brown Tunic and black arms? The torso looks thin enough to use for a Jedi female. Maybe Jocasta Nu?
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!

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. :)
*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.

2 Clone Commander Kamas, a premade soft goods kama attached to a clone belt by someone who knows what they are doing, (unlike me ;))
BTW Jokabofe that ARC is awesome, Ive never seen that one before. The soft goods on that look realy sweet.
Seeing as how there are so many people doing Mandos these days I think we should do a post your Mando thread that way we could have them all in one place. What do you guys think?
Mandalorian Pilot, finished him today. I'm not that happy with the pictures because they sort of changed the colors and washed out some details. Ah well. Last pic he is sitting in the cockpit of his unfinished custom "Mandalorian Low Altitude Heavy Artillery Troop Transport"... yeah. Long name. Okay, comments appreciated, thanks.

Oh and since this is the first time I used differnt chest armor and gauntlets than a normal mandalorian, I gave him Boba Fett colors to try to push that mandalorian feel. Maybe it worked...
BEWARE! the Dulcote. I've Ruined Several of My Paint Jobs Using that Stuff. There's nothing worse than taking a Customs that has perfect Paint Aps then Seeing it destroyed by the Dull Coat you Just Aplied. My Stealth Republic Commando Was Way to Shiny for My Taste So I used a Dulcote Sealer on it. All it did was Muddy Up all My Detail work, And the Dulcoat Crinkled, So Now he Looks Like his Armor is made of fractured Porcelin. The Scrathes I Put on the Armor Look Like Glitter, And He is Still Shiny.
Agian !!BEWARE DULCOAT!!
where is your cody ??? ???
You might try masking off the ship next time before you paint, so you get more crisp and defined lines.
Put together my mandalorain scout, but not even done priming him yet. Finished a Clone Wars Jedi
WIP's!! WIP's!! WIP's!!! :P
J/K ;D Actually I do want to see the scout though.
Hehe I seem to recognise the recipe of your Mando Scout from somewhere :) Very nice, but the cammo is a bit to earthly for my tast. I love what yuo did with the jedi dude. He rocks!
no, how do they all fit in it? lol ;)
.CC1, make sure you post your mandos and the ship when you make them :)
DAY 3 :)
As for the 1 peice molds - well they ended up being too thick. I dunno whats worse, having a good strong mold where you can't get the part out because its so thick or having a really weak mold that you could tear to shreds any second. ??? Oh well.
Pics of Number 2 coming soon. I mean I have pics but one of two things happens, they either show all the detailing (wash and drybrush and other stuff) but the color is messed up, OR they show the right colors but you cant see the details. I've got to find a happy medium and when I do I'll post pics. Stay tuned ;)
I'm thinking it's gotta have something to do with tools I use. Come to think of it, I really only use a toothpick and my exacto, lol. Anyone have sugestions for a small inexpensive toolkit to start sculpting a little more seriously?
