Ghez hokan would be an awesome idea. From the description of the book, though, it says he has a blood-red jacket over his tan-coloured mando armour. his jumpsuit is grey.

oh, and PS: Does that boba fett (I assume it's from the new saga collection one) have pegholes in the feet?

Yes, yes he does.  I don't really have much for fodder, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to come up with a jacket for Hokan.  I may attempt it without though.  I just need to find a coupla rifles that are similar to the ones he's described carrying by Guta the Weequay.  The Verpine Shatter gun may go either way in difficulty...any hints are gladly appreciated.

Thanks

Very interesting thread, and good progress so far!

 

[JediDre]

Hey everyone, back again with some new pics.  I decided not to go with the Boba and Jango arms, and opted to use a SA Clones arms as to keep with the SA I have in the legs.  I had to mangle the Clone as well(gotta do what you gotta do, huh Chewie?), but I got the arms out.  The pegs were too small for the arm holes, so I had to sure them up with some sculpey.  I cured it in boiling water, and I think I'm good to go for a while.  I'm still trying to decide if I want to go with a random Mondo warrior, or make him Ghez Hokan from the 1st Rep. Commando book.  Any feelings on this?  Questions, gripes, comments...let them fly!!

Oh yeah...on with the pics....

The first one here is the new arms after coming out of the water...the shoulders look wide, but they aren't in person.


Next is a better pic of the new pouch I put on his backside


Even though this gun sucks it kinda looks cool on him


This is a full shot wiht him and his bucket...I may be removing the antenna...I'm not sure.


Thanks

Thanks for the PM's you sent me regarding this.  I'm impressed with what you've been doing here.  Looks like one really mean Mandalorian!

 

[BrentS]

The Mandolorian is looking really good.  Anxious to see the final piece.  When you sculpy the arm back into place, I'm assuming you lose joint flexibility?

[JediDre]

Theres some loss of articulation, but not so much he's stuck in one pose.  I still don't know what way i want to go with him.  warrior, Hokan, or what.  Any help is appreciated. 

Thanks

Dre

Ok folks...I have made a few decisions on the color scheme of this Mando.  But I was wondering what some people would think...so I'm putting up the final two choices I've come to.  Gold armor and black jumpsuit   or   Red armor and tan jump suit.    Lets see those votes!!

Pic taken down cause it was freakin' huge!!


Thanks

How about red armor on a black bodysuit?

 Info and a pic of the verpine shatter gun. as described in Hard Contact, it is a pistol; small and very delicate, but VERY powerful and very silent.

[JediDre]

Here are a coupla guns I've come up with.  One, obviously is an Arc style pistol.  I like the look of it a lot though, so I may incorprate it into my back story of him once I figure everything out.

Here we are, the work place...I'm surprised there wasn't any bloodshed


Next is the big gun I put together...it is pretty big, but I like the look of it...



Last is the oppisite side of the big gun, and the ARC pistol...



As usual, gripes, comments, questions are welcome!!

Thanks

Dre

[CHEWIE]

They look pretty cool... any way you can resize any of the pics?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't been able to get much done on my Mando lately.  My wife and I are going to have a baby, and we had to take care of some...issues we had. I should finish up he head, and start painting(at least a primer coat) by the weekend.  I'm going Red armor, and black jumpsuit, kinda like the Mando Deathwatch Bloodguard.  I hope to get some pictures up soon enough. 

Thanks for hanging in there guys!

Gday mate

The mando is comming along great the new pouches you've added look good and the better then I fisrt thought.
The gun now that is one mean piece of equipment looks excellent so far and for the colour scheme I vote for the red on tan look I think giving him a tan junpsuit will tone down the red that way the red wont look to bright.
