as I said on deviantart, this is one of my favorites of yours so far.  I love the color scheme, and of course I love the parts choice... but your expert detailing in your painting is on par with clint's superb skills and that is what makes or breaks a custom. 
for instance, I can bash together those same exact parts and yet once I paint it it will look like dog-doo standing beside your piece of art.

Will you please get a shot of the range-finder side of the helmet, I'd love to see how you attached a movable visor to the removable helmet.

the cloth kama is just icing on the cake too, superb! 

the only thing I'd do different if I were you would be find a more "hard ass" head sculpt.  that jodo-kast head sculpt just looks too much like a pasty noob young kid to me... lol

yeah that jodo kast head is just a placeholder for a while till i find a new head, i'll put up a couple pics of the rangefinder as well

I just put a straight pin through the inside of the helmet and bent it to a 90 degree angle,  cut it to 3/8 inch long, drilled a pin hole in the eye piece, and glued it to the cut end of the pin

looks great Helix. Love the rangefinder and thanks for showing us how you did that with the close up pics. On the front page yet again. I am really liking these new Mandos. It would be cool to see all of these together when you get done making them. Can we assume you will be making more Mandos?

pure genious work with that rangefinder.  I love the skinier look of the bar to the eyepiece that the pin gives it!  you might be seeing that in other places now.... ;)
