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.

Thanks clonehead!

Heres a few WIP pics :)

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!

Wow thanks! Glad my custom made her interested in SW!
SW always was always a family event for me... i remember my brother would find a way to take a day out of school with me to go watch the prequals at launch :)

I think the Armorer costume would be easier to make and get for her :)

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!

I use an air dry modelling clay. Most of the armor this time was done with foam pieces that i cut and carved with a hobby knife! The hair was sculpted using a crayloa clay that is a bit foamy and is not as brittle when sculpted into thin objects!

The paint was layered on acrylics with washes of tamiya silver for weathering. Glad you like my work :)

Thanks boss! I was contemplating on what to do with the ML Enchantress I had lying around... Glad I waited until the season finale of TCW so I could make Bo-Katan ;D

That facial sculpt is just amazing. Have to get that alone on the front page again. They are loving this one on our Facebook Page.
