Welcome to the forums! Your Mando looks great. ()rr
Very cool. LOVE the display!
Wow, now that is the way to say hello! Great Mandalorian customs.

Welcome to ISY!
Hey, thanks for joining us here! I'm glad you found the Shipyards! And I think you made the perfect upgrade for Mando! Hasbro will definitely give us a version of him in his full Beskar Amor. But I doubt they will make a seperate repaint just for the beskar shoulder piece. I agree with previous comments: the magnetic shoulder armor is just brilliant! Couldn't comment right away when I saw your post yesterday because I was on my cell phone. But my jaw certainly dropped! From what I've read many fans are not quite happy with the colors Hasbro decided to paint him in. And seeing your repaint now makes me agree 100% on this matter!
So you scaled down a 1:1 size helmet? That's Pretty impressive! I know that many people on here - including myself - are very thrilled to learn more about 3D-printing. So thank you for joining us! The Child and the wall look awesome, too! There's endless potential here!

Best regards & much respect from Germany!

Welcome aboard! That’s a fantastic looking mando!
Welcome! Your Mando does look great, and I love the idea of using magnets to facilitate outfit versatility. I’m planning to begin work on a couple 3.75” versions soon and will now plan to go with magnetized right shoulder swap-out pauldrons for both after seeing this.
Welcome to the forums! Your Mando looks great. ()rr
Thanks! Can't wait to see how it turns out when you get the fig!
I was planning on doing one where all the armor pieces can be swapped between Beskar and episode 1&2 versions from the show, kinda like this favourite toy of mine as a kid ;D

Hello back, I just read your question on the font page. Didn’t see it on page one. So it’s either 2 501st or 2 212th Troopers. Tough question.
Here’re my thoughts:
212th Attack Battallion
1. As far as I know there is no 212th Clone Trooper in The Black Series, yet. Neither in Phase I nor in Phase II. So it’d be cool if you made two of them with different deco/equipment before Hasbro.
2. With the new sculpt of the Purge Trooper I’m sure it’s just a matter of time ‘til we’ll see a repaint of him to represent the 7th Sky Corps. When I talked to Hasbro on Comic Con back in December they confirmed that Commander Cody is on top of their list for the Archive line. So of they’re smart they even make a 3-Pack with Cody, an Airborne and a Clone Trooper of 212th Attack Battalion. I think it’s just a matter of time ‘til they also make a 212th Clone Trooper.
I also made a diorama of the “10th level” recently and added some thoughts:
http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?PHPSESSID=90143e9471ad7724ac95259442d53781&topic=10155.msg216232#msg216232
501st Legion
1. There was one 501st Legion Trooper in the 4-Pack, which is pretty hard to find - even harder here in Germany. So I hope that Hasbro will give us more units in the Archive Line, Main Line or Gaming Greats adding some variation. But with Season 7 of The Clone Wars I suppose they will come with “Ahsoka’s-Legion” helmets.
I think the main pro for you here, is that you already got all the right colors to paint the 501st. Plus they’d match your awesome squad perfectly.
The only con is, I think the “i” on their chest armor is quite tough to paint - even in 1/12 scale. But I’m confident it’ll be no problem for you.
Who knows when we’ll see more repaints of Clone Troopers with the current situation and all the delays. I hope my thoughts will help you a bit to make a choice. Have you ever worked with decals by the way? I’m currently working on a sheet with some emblems for a 1/18 scale Purge Trooper.
And do you know forum member CenturionsCorner? He’s on YouTube and Instagram, too! He made some nice Clone customs as well...
http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?PHPSESSID=90143e9471ad7724ac95259442d53781&topic=10594.0
I hope my thoughts can help you a bit to make a choice. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your Clones no matter which Legion you choose!

Edit: Yep, my smartphone messed up my text hard. Had to fix it on the computer...cheers!
Wow, great work on painting & weathering your Troopers! Did you use acrylic paints from apple barrel? And are those Clone Troopers from Hasbro? I think Phase II are even rarer than Phase I...time for Hasbro to bring them back to The Archive Line and Gaming Greats. Talking about Battlefront - I agree with previous comments. The heavy rotating gun and backpack look totally awesome! Really good work here! Thanks for sharing your squad with us!These are all Hasbro Black Series troopers
- Philipp
Wow, just fantastic Clones. Off to the front pages.
And that z6 is awesome!
Very cool rotary cannon; the fact that it spins is definitely the cherry. Do you design and print your own parts? I've been wanting to check out zbrush and perhaps pick up a printer at some point.
Very cool 501st Clones. You nailed it! ()rr
Your clones are remarkable! What a great reveal in your final set of pics.
Almost makes me want to pick up a Hayden Christianson figure.
If your mold material is stretchy enough to allow the ball shape to slip through the head while extracting, Try turning your master part, the other way down, making your mold, so that when you cast, you pour through the top of the head. As long your part sets deep enough in the mold, the resulting extra material on the top of the head can be carved off and sculpted to match the master. Hey, it’s gotta beat cutting out a ball joint cavity. I don’t like having to do that either.
I showed this to my daughter yesterday and she said you ought to get me the cosplay of that character. She thought it looked tough. And then she saw the Armourer beside her and couldn't decide which one she liked better.
She normally just rolls her eyes at "dad's Star Wars Stuff" but it was cool to see her get interested in your work for a few minutes. Trust me this was a great accomplishment!
She is looking really amazing! I really appreciate the WIP pictures. Can't wait to see the final product.
Okay, one word "AWESOME." She turned out great. The head sculpt is excellent, the paint job is outstanding. I love that the range finder is movable, not static. Great job! You've turned out a couple of most excellent female Mando's.
Loving this BK build, Maul. What is your preferred sculpting medium of choice? The crisp paints bring the completed figure together very nicely. Well done!
I can only emulate the other statements. Wow. She turned out great. I can't wait to show my daughter. I really like how you kept her feminine look and still made her look so tough. Many female Mandos sometimes, imo, kinda maintain the Male Look in their armor, but not yours!
Off to the front pages. So looking forward to the new episode tomorrow.
Amazing job, dude. I mean really. Looks like she walked off the screen. Why cant hasbro put out quality content like this? It would be an easy sell. Fantastic work on the head sculpt!
After watching the latest episode of TCW yesterday you really nailed that facial sculpt.
If you casted that head thousands would buy one of it.
One could count the days 'til there was enough reference material! I so hoped you'd do these and they turned out excellently - as expected! I saw yesterday that those 6 inch bootlegs dropped to $13 and free shipping on eBay! I might get a couple Clone Troopers, too…
I just don't understand why they were assigned as the 332nd now - thought the 501st was just split into two garrisons…
Awesome paint job here - especially on the helmets! Thanks for sharing!
Speechless I am! Wow.
Off to the front pages. Can't wait to see you finish Ahsoka!
Rook and Gar turned out fabulously. You have done spectacular work on these Mandos, I am really impressed.
Sculpting and pain work here is top notch. I'd of NEVER suspected foam being used. Kudos to you.
I can't help think of his helmet here and wonder if he has head rammed anyone? Anyone else think that too?
Damn! These Mandalorians are amazing! Design, use of parts, sculpting, painting; you're on top of the game!
Dude, you're on fire! That's such an amazing custom collection you've created there! Excellent work of sculpting and recycling parts for their armor! I'm absolutelyimpressed, agree with previous comments and can absolutely relate to Tamer! Those might be some head banging and ramming Mandos. bbfet
Looks great to me. That electrical tape worked great.
Off to the front pages.
Nice! He looks really good. Using electrical tape was a good idea.
Love your Jesse and creativity with the rockets! Also, check your email. ;)
Fantastic. I love the poses this figure can achieve, and your group shots are excellent!
Excellent work as always! The paint work is next to none on her facial patterns.

;D
Oh wow, she is breathtaking! So awesome.
Man, that action shot of them all together so fantastic!
Mauldalorian for president. Man, I will try to leave better comments later, but these are definitely on the front pages.
Now this is my kind of party. He looks great.;D
Off to the front page.
EXCELLENT WORK! Love the head sculp! That's perfect... great, now I've got to hunt down a Reed Richards... thanks a lot. lol.Thanks! I really like your custom, especially the removeable armor! I think a lot more source images have come up since the air date. I used this picture mostly for reference and pausing the episode :o
I think I'm going to have to go back and repaint my Vanth's pants green and touch up the jetpack. The screenshots I took looked like the pack was green and I thought that was really odd since boba's pack in ROTJ was mostly blue. Yours looks nice and crisp!
Love this one. My favorite Vanth so far!Thanks!
Great work in a short amount of time.Thanks! I used a ML Reed Richards head
What head did you use for Timothy Oliphant and how did you doctor it up?
These look pretty rad. Is the painted symbol on the top of the helmet the Death Watch symbol?
Hot damn! That's a really good looking Asoka. The work on the soft goods is fantastic!
She looks fantastic mate, well done indeed.
Ron
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Can't think of better comments. Man she looks tough. Spot on from what I can remember from the episode. Just fantastic work all around.
Gonna get this one on top of the pages today.
Both Ahsoka and Fett turned out really well. You do a fantastic job of mixing mediums to provide greater screen accuracy. Your sculpting is really outstanding and that chain code was ingenious. Brilliant!
Man that chaincode is genius! The tin shots are great! Love it all!
Excellent Fett! The chain code is an especially nice detail.
Wow.
You certainly covered everything with this one. I mean wow including the language from the gauntlet proving the armor was his. Just wow. It looks great.
Off to share to the front pages.
The creativity displayed here is inspiring, absolutely next level!
You are gonna have to make that scene with her and Boba on Tatooine sitting on the Jabba Throne!
Now he looks great. Very nice.
Off to share on the front pages.
Those are amazing. I love the detail that you put in to these figures, all the belts and pouches and bits really add something to the figures. Your paint jobs are really impressive. These are great builds!
More great 212th stuff. Nice.
Back on the front pages.
Great work on that airborne trooper!
Liked the arc armor on Boil, was it?
Pretty paint on his helmet too.
Wooooooooooooo what a phenomenal start to kick-off the new year! Kudos to Aude for this great looking Airborne helmet! I actually came back early just to comment on your latest Clone Trooper customs! Man, what an epic job you did here! I absolutely love your alternative paint scheme for the Airborne Trooper! He truly looks like a parachute trooper with all the belt and buckles around his waist. My mind is just blown! Which color did you use for the orange if I may ask? I've been trying to find the accurate shade of orange recently.
Congrats to these absolutely fantastic 212th Attack troops to add to your collection!
P.S.: They're 1/12 scale right? Amazing stuff right here...thanks so much for sharing!
Your 212th customs are epic.
It is great to see a 6" airborne trooper and it is even better to see a airborne ARC-Trooper.
The paint scheme and the weathering is excellent and the quality of the 3D-printed parts looks great.
Excellent work.
That Joker is fantastic! Awesome work. Looks like the Batman is coming along nicely too.
Off to share on the front pages.
They look really good. The weathering isn't "over-the-top" - which I really appreciate. I think using the two different brands was a great idea to, as you put it, add some variation. Really clever. Nice work.
Wow, this is fantastic! I like your additions to your Mandalorian, but wow, wow, wow on that Dark Trooper!
Off to the front pages with both.
That's AWESOME. So Tamer and I just made a point to create a new page on the forum specifically for sharing 3d print files and other related information. Any chance you'd be willing to share the darktrooper files there?!
Really nice upgrades on your SHF Mando and your Dark Trooper looks amazing! I'm very impressed by the construction of this figure considering how the parts are printed. And I really enjoy the picture of Moff Gideon standing in front of the printer holding the product. This is a phenomenal project. The future is now. It's great to have a dedicated section for 3D printing now.
These just look tough as all get out! Nice!
Back to the front pages. Surely Hasbro will make these one day. It won't be a long time till we see em in 3.75" though. Guessing out loud this morning.
Wow, Bada$$! They look great. Love that group shot too.
Off to share on the front pages.
Congrats for getting two! I hope Hasbro will never stop making them and use this mold forever giving us all the other ARC Troopers like Colt, Blitz and the one of BF2 for the Gaming Greats line. I think people on instagram will be all over your customs! They're a huge update, Echo looks amazing weathered up and Fives is a brilliant repaint! Much respect for the work on the heads too!

I'm genuinely impressed by your work! The Dark Trooper is amazing, your ARC Troopers blow my socks off. Really awesome work here. Saw one dude on facebook who currently works on a 1/12 scale Republic Gunship with a wing span of 3.5 feet or so...sky's the limit with 3D printing.
WOW! Jesse is amazing. The process you went through to get the helmet is impressive. The paint job is absolutely masterful.
Looks tough to me. Nice work.
Off to share on the front pages.
SMH that Hasbro isn't making all these great ARC Troopers.
Great work on your Jesse. That helm conversion is masterful. You should be proud. ()rr
Kix turned out great. I like the new fabric on the back pack. Now you need to make a Kix - pirate version:)
Great paintwork on these guys!
Kix looks great! Off to share that on the front pages.
Love me some commandos! Great work as always.Vode An, Ner Vod. ()rr
Hey, it's so good to see you back around and it's amazing how good 3D prints have become. I think you absolutely nailed both the shades and color patterns of Delta Squad! You're far ahead of time. I think we eventually get Delta Squad in the Black Series as Tamer said before on another topic, but I doubt they'll look as good as yours. Love Scorch's backpack and the bue metallic shine on the top. That's a nice touch. The color and edging on Fixer looks brilliant as well!
Thanks so much for sharing your footage on here. Got nostalgia hitting hard, which was quite refreshing on this Monday morning.
Ok, first of all I commented on this when I put it on the front pages when you first posted this!
I absolutely love this. I am telling you that image where you copied from the game is spot on freaking awesome. It looks real. I don't know how long it took you to pose this, but man that is sweet. I would so buy this set if they looked like this. One can only hope we get a full Delta set after seeing this awesomeness.
I've been out-of-the-loop for a bit and you've done some really amazing work. The Delta Commandos turned out really amazing. Brilliant paint work. I really like the new Maul and the Opress figure. They work well together. You have developed an amazing set of Shadow Collective figures - really spectacular.Thanks! I'm running out of shelf space lol.
This custom is sharp! The horns are awesome and really does looks like real bones. The eyes and face tatoo were very precise. No doubt its a next level custom 0/Thanks BlackThorne :)
Man you do awesome work. He looks tough.Thanks Tamer 0/
Off to share on the front pages.
Awesome work! I hadn’t thought about the gender of this character until I saw your great custom.Thanks!
Good god man, she’s a beauty! Great mix of parts, soft goods, and scratch building. The look is just right.Thanks! It was a fun project!
Thanks for the WIP pics
I agree, what a fantastic figure! thanks for sharing the recipe! If I still collected The Black Series, I'd try it. Isn't there a carbonized AND a Credit Collection figure of The Armorer beside the basic figure?Thanks! There was also a HasbroPulse exclusive with a few extra parts. Great figure overall with the butterfly shoulder joints.
The Basic Figure seems to have performed well at retail. Maybe I'll get some carbonized Armorer figures for customs if I find them cheap.
Now the costume you made for her is one nice composition. Looking awesome! Honorable to mention is the amount of Tusken Raiders you have there. Makes fun to look at all your pics!
Thanks for having taken the extra time for those WIP pics as well!
Amazing work. I'm not big into black series but I'd totally buy this character in 3 3/4". I also want that Tuskin Chieftain and Krrstantin.Ya, need that Chieftain to complete the look ;)
Well daggone!Thanks! 0/
Wow!
Uh, she is fantastic! Off to share on the front pages while I try to think of better comments.
That is an amazing build! You did a fabulous job capturing the feel of the character. I really like the soft goods.
Brilliant! Nice job with the necklace and pendant. The head sculpt looks really good. You have quite a tribe here.
Wow, got me again. So awesome. Such great sculpting skills. Great job on the pendant and the head. Looks perfect to me.
Off to share on the front pages.
Saw your female Tusken Raider won the Custom of the Week on JediInsider (https://jediinsider.com/173-24048). Congratulations, it's great to see all the amazed reactions on various platforms! And if she wasn't awesome enough, you now come up with her daddy...absolutely insane customs there! Love the headsculpt and the sea hedgehog as accessory!
Wow, that turned out nice. Great name for him too.
Off to share on the front pages.
These are all fantastic! Worthy of recognition in the archives of the Jedi order the tuskens look great. Kind of wish I army built them when I had the chance before they went up in price.Ah, Count Dooku quote! lol
Jumpsuit boba looks great too, the Ghostbusters Jumpsuit worked brilliantly.
Brilliant idea to use a Ghostbusters figure for this! Your sculpt work is amazing as per usual. I think I like your "Onesie Fett" as his official name, though probably people will just call him "Flightsuit Fett" or Jumpsuit Fett."
Wow, you sure ain't waiting for Hasbro to make em. Smart man. Nice droid.Thanks! I know Hasbro's probably going to make a Black Krrsantan but hopefully it will be a while before we see an 8D8 or the Tuskens :)
Off to the front pages.
Nice job. The IG-11 arms work really well. The paint job is great.Thanks! IG droids are the best! They work for everything :)
Beautiful job! They all look great, but I especially love 8D8!Thanks! It was a fun quick project to do.
