Thanks a lot everyone!

Darksider80, thanks so much man. The flow of each figure is very important and some work better than others. My next one has been a major challenge, I am trying to create original looks but still combining classic elements to keep it SWey looking. Bounty hunters come in all shapes and sizes and I like a bit of diversity as you can see in the group photo. So expect a heavy weight with a never seen before helmet, this one is way outside the box, and a "Skinney" that uses the concept Fett x Airborn trooper bucket mash up. Shout out to Darth Daddy for the idea to use the skinney body with this helmet. Not sure if I will do WIP pics or just give you finished work...

Hey L.E.  Thanks so much for the Mando.  He's amazing.  The stand is incredible.  I feel really lucky.  Can't wait until you see what Dad sent you. Hope you have a Happy Holiday.

Well I would love to upload my final custom figure of 2012 but something is up with my photobucket account. Have not been able to log on for 3 days now! UGH!

I noticed mine was down too and they are wanting me to try the beta version which is also locking up. I was actually forced to download their desktop app and then use previous img code and swap out the image name to make it work.

Seems like it is working now for me though (using the old version). Might be too many bugs yet to totally switch over.

Yea, I don't want that new look any way! I hope I can share these pics in the next day or so. Still locking up because I didn't switch to the new version is what I found in the FAQ section.

Spry, your mandos are excellent. I love the helmet mods! That group shot is just over the top.

I was able to take a few pictures of my latest 2 Mandos today. These are so much fun to make and the possibilities are endless. I like to start with a helmet mod then build the charater to suit that bucket.

First up is a 90's Eddie Murphy x TOR inspired Mando. Features Halo x Jango Fett Helmet, Joe parts for the body with kit bashing and sculpting














Next is the result of trying to mix a few more SW parts into the design with mostly Joe body parts. I felt the parts worked well enough there is no kit bashing or sculpting for this one. I did give him a custom sniper riffle.













This final shot shows all the bounty hunters I have made and are still in my collection.





Excellent figure!!!  How about a parts list?  I only recognize the head and legs.

OK, I will try to remember the parts.

Torso - I think it was a Duke figure from ROC. He was all tan and came with an alternate head with a mask/goggles.
Upper arms and legs - Jungle viper
One arm is from Artic Destro and the other was from the fodder bin. It has a chap mai arm hollowed out slipped over it.
Frome there I added cast pouches and greeblies along with a bit of sculpt on the chest.

Actually, now that you mention it, it's Dusty.

super excellent works, hard to tell a fave. Really really awesome!!
Instantly in the final shot I like the tall guy in the middle most, in a battle pose he would make a great scifi "cover boy".

The color combos look very nice on this guy.  I'm loving your new helmet mods; the side profile of this helmet looks great. 

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!
