I wanted to give things that were original creations and no one else will have an exact copy. So Elias would have to be the one that lets that helmet be cast. By the way 2 more Mandos almost done!

OMG Spry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have I happened to mention in while you are THE "Kevin Jones" of customizing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm literally yelling, "WHAT THE CRAP??!!" I don't know what runs through your mind to put together the parts you do to make dioramas, but you should start a training class!! I'm looking at the WIP pic of that background and just shaking my head because I recognize more than half of the parts used, and it's just brilliant!!!!!!! I won't reveal all of your secrets <*cough* light switch cover *cough*> but again it's just brilliant how you put all these pieces together!!

Dad, this is so cool! I love this figure and I'm sure Elias is enjoying it now. If only everyone could see it in person.
Better than the Italian Stallion.

Jason, yes you have, and again I thank you. I have this problem with thinking the next project has to out do the previous one. Sometimes I am happy and sometimes I am not. I try to have a fresh perspective starting each project and try not to reuse the same parts in the same way. It also helps to be a hoarder of junk bit and broken toys for over 10 years. You will more than likely see me on TV if the show lasts about 4 more years. Unless you are going to totally scratch build out of styrene, your fodder supply determines how good of a look you can achieve. Good guess on the light switch cover but it is a divider from inside the old computer disk holders that I made storage bins out of and also the back bin on the Big Mother Trucker vehicle I did a few years back.

BlackThorne, feel free to try something like this. You just have to post pictures in your thread when you are done.

Jaxon, thanks!

Re: Luke Sprywalker's Custom Action Figures Reloaded! 12-16 2X Mando Update

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.
