I've been itchin' to do a self custom ever since I got this SlayerDesignStudio custom cast head sculpt. It is the best representation of me that I have come across yet... (I usually shave ny head & have a full beard). So, I had a bit of a "customizin' marathon" last nite & this is what I concocted for my MANDALORIAN MINI ME --- LMK what U guys think...

P.S. I was really jealous of all the cool banners ALL of U guys have in your sigs & I finally got 1 of my own... LMK if it is worty...





Check out the gauntlet tubes that I managed to tie into the elbow gaurds...






I tried to capture some of the details in the head sculpt - but it is really hard to see in it's raw form...

Yup, that rocketpack is a Disney WALL*E head...


THNX 4 lookin' & as always... comments / critiques / questions / suggestions R welcomed...  8)

Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live & die on this day. How we die is equal to how we live. Once more into the breach, my friends, once more, or we close the walls up with our dead...

I used CW Cad Bane lower arms - hollowed out & then grafted onto AT-RT driver lower arms - cut the Cad Bane "elbow ring" away - trimed the tubes to equal lenghts - then drilled a shallow hole in the GI Joe PoC Firefly upper arms (elbow armor) - then drilled out the micro missiles & added some .50cal rounds from a GI Joe ammo belt  >:D - The lower legs are GI Joe Ren Firefly w/ some Alien Racer armored greaves  >:D

I love a self-custom; been meaning to do one of myself too (one of these days)...

I love the use of the Wall-E head as the rocket pack: would've never noticed had you not shown it.  Very creative!

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

Glad U dig it! The lower legs R a bit of "franken fig fabrication" GI Joe Renegades Firefly on top of an Alien Racers greaves (I've had that fig forever & can't remember specifically... it was green skinned w/ chromed eyes...) & then finished off w/ feet from GI Joe Roc HeavyDuty - I wear a size 12 Wide - lol

THNX 4 all the positive feedback guys!!! :)

This is my very 1st Jedi custom... the base fig is a WW2 CaptainAmerica  w/ lower legs from a Thor, bracers & shoulder armor from an IronMan Mark 2, hands from GI Joe Renegades SnakeEyes & the head is from a GI Joe RoC Recondo w/ mask from a Spawn NitroRiders Afterburn & hair from a MU WinterSoldier - the soft goods are from VC AotC SenateGuard & BlueRay Edition 4pk Anakin Episode 2 - belt is from McQuarrie Obi-Wan w/ bits added from fodder... I did just a minimal amout of paint work (the tan on the Obi-Wan sash & the gloss blue highlights)

I was inspired to do a Jedi custom after watchin' this music video -

Nice execution; the tabbards look great and these are great color choices.

How'd you achieve that mask for the character?  Cutting another piece or sculpting?

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

Thnx JMerc - the mask came from a Spawn NitroRiders fig (Afterburn) - I just opened the eye slits a tad... Glad U like the colors - navy blue is probably my favorite color & it isn't a normal Jedi color...
