Actually, here are some WIP shots. The sketch is going to be my guide for this one, which is pictured in the first shot. (I'm not sure on the armor paint scheme yet, where there's green at.)
I've gotten to work on the plume/brush thing atop his head, which, when I'm done, I'm hoping will resemble the Spartan King Leonidas I. It's tedious work as I have to lay in each bristle, by hand, so, this one will take a lot more work before I'm completely happy and done with it. (Not looking forward to doing the other side, really, but, I'm sure it'll look great when finished.) And, I know it needs trimmed, lol. It's wild, as is...
Figure must be an all-new creation and can't have been posted here or anywhere else in the past.

Question: can I post WIP pics on my FB page and/or other forums as well?
OOOH, cool, I have a similar idea for my helmet, Spartan looking, not sure if I'm gonna go with the hairy top or not, we'll see...
I forgot to resize the image, sorry my fault.

Pretty cool Mando! I always thought those Skorr legs were a bit too short for any figure, but they really don't look bad at all on this guy. Nice parts selections!
Had to get Mandalore 1992's Mando Gal on the front page
Pardon my French, mandalore, but she just looks badass!
Sure, Crow, bring it on.

YEEEEIHHH THANKS A LOT TAMER ;D ;D ;D
I like your entry, CC and your wip shots, CS!
Devin, this one is right up your alley and I specifically designed it to get your attention.
it definitely got my attention.... unfortunately I've been out of customizing for almost 4 months now... don't expect a flamboyant entry when I get home!
Wow, we had a great couple of entries today. Those mandos look nice, gents.
Ghost, as per the rules, you need to kill that vehicle pic and replace it with another one without a vehicle if you want.
Sorry.
Alright guys, here is a WIP pic. I'm probably going to use a differnt blaster and make a custom weapon for him. These are just the parts, I'm still thinking about the color scheme.
Really nice entries guys! AFE you have stepped your game up with this female Mando! Combining Joe and SW parts isn't the easiest thing to do and a good amount of paint work including some skin! Nice work!
Thanks JediMerc! The support everyone offers here on the yards is second to none! If you need a refresher for Joe/SW combos we could all take a page out of Darth Optimus' custom book, I've been drooling over his creations for the past couple of hours... I hope you plan on throwing your hat--I mean lightsaber into the ring with us JediMerc! I know you'll whip out something awesome!
Thunder, that is a good looking figure. Is this post your entry? If so as per the rules, there can't be a vehicle in the shot.Sorry mate the only background I had.
Colin sent me a custom I need to get on in here too. He only has some type of mobile device so I am gonna post his entry for him if that is ok Clint?Yes Shawn, that would be fine. Man, you guys are blowing me away today. These latest entries are stunning. I need to get off of my butt and get mine further along.
This is my entry. He's got a real cloth vest under his armor. He's got a custom power hammer made by himself.
Please click on pics to see them larger.
Fifth shot. I do not have a name yet. I have a few ideas about one for her but she is definitely a grim reaper incarnate. I focused on her gear too. She has a regular Z6 jetpack and she has a high altitude jet pack as well. Her guantlets are removable and she has swappable heads, a sword, custom pulse rifle, twin westar blasters and a vibroclaw fitted onto her left guantlet. I will have a full pic spread in my custom thread for those of you that want to see more. I really am in love with this figure and I hope you guys enjoy lookin at her as much as i do ( I just sit looking at her on my desk for moments at a time whenever I sit down to work).
lucasclones, that is one bad ass mando chick. The paintscheme is perfect and I love the use of the winged backpack! very very cool.I'm glad to see you are keeping up with the haps of this contest, Devin. I willl complete my entry within days. Could even be hours........

Just palin Awesome Clint. He looks plenty refined to me! I love the "Fall" orange color to him too.lol Palin awesome, is that awesome at all?
shere'shoyI guess that I'm not familiar with that term. Is that good?
well guys I litterally just made it home from my summer away.... only to find that my parents have completely destroyed my customizing space in my room.
apparently they turned my basement room into a spare bedroom while I was away and decided that all my "junk" was too cluttered and threw everything into boxes and shoved it all into my closet...
keep in mind that I am 24... albeit I am living at home... and it was cluttered... but still, they new I was coming back!
long story short is that I have NO IDEA where all my customizing supplies have wound up and it'll take me a month to get things back together the way I had things before. Not to mention I've got a ton of other more important things to do (like finding a job)...
so yeah... I won't be able to participate in the contest, or do any customs for a while... but I will keep following the awesome work everyone is putting up!
reminds me of a mando merc chick who is a chiss mandoThis is my entry!!!
Presenting Scyrene (Cy-Reen), Mandalorian Battlemaster.
Scyrene is a female Chiss explorer who's vessel was damaged by Imperials while near Mandalore. Crashing on that planet, she was soon surrounded and attacked by an entire Mandalorian clan. Scyrene, however, was highly skilled in several forms of combat, from multiple forms of hand-to-hand combat, to mastery of blades and projectile weapons, she quickly massacred the entire clan. Scyrene built a small settlement on that same ground, using the blood of her attackers to soften up the land to build the foundation to her home. Several times, she was attacked by raiders, bandits, and as her legend grew, adventurers who sought to make a name for themselves as warriors. Without equal, she felled them all, adorning her property with their blood soaked buckets on pikes as warning to others. As she soon came to be known as a Battlemaster, Scyrene eventually adventured into one of the Mandalorian cities in search of their well crafted armor. Having a suit built for her from scratch, to her specifications, Scyrene takes great pride in her new adornments, so much so that she keeps them as clean as they were when she purchased them. The only markings on her armor come from her victims, as she uses their blood to keep her helmet stripe and jetpack markings fresh.

damn that figure looks good clint. I realy wish I could add one of those to my collection. i guess I need to get off my lazy butt and mail in my redemption forms...Sorry, Devin, it's got to be a new custom as per the rules and can't have been posted anywhere prior to this contest.
I still haven't sent off one for the missile launching fett either! do you know if they are still available?
I've been racking my braid for an idea for this project that I can whip up easilly and nothing that I've wanted to do will be possible in the short amount of time I've got left...
I had a permenant WIP mando that I thought might be nice to finish for this contest... but per the rules I didn't think that'd be allowed as an entry. I've never finished the figure but he has been posted in the WIP stage for nearly 8 months!

The rocket firing Fett redemption ended this spring.
Drooling over the grand prize.... :PLOL, Drool away, Mungo. He is certainly worthy of it.

well, it doesn't appear I'll be entering...I can see a future custom from you, Devin, using vacuum parts. I know how you are.
I'm assuming though the deadline is by midnight tomorrow? I MIGHT be able to work my ass off tonight and get something put together...
I've been knee deep in trying to get things put back together in my room the way I want them, then I finally got a job interview and I'm going through orientation this week for it. I'll be selling vacuums... lol
Just get close, Incom, and it will be fine. There is no way that I want to start the voting without this guy in there. Man, I love the colors! do you mind if I put this wip shot on the front page?
Some of the best work I've seen on the Yards in a long time and it's all in these pages here! So much awesome! Wish we could assemble our entries for a group shot :)I was gonna say the same thing,like thier all part of a clan.I would love to see that.also,great job to everyone who entered,you guys really pulled out all the stops and went to town,I guess we all want that proto-type fett pretty bad huh,j/k.
A man (I assume you're a man lol) after my own heart! I love the rawness of your kitbash! The Cobra insignia, the different parts, and dang that guy sure has enough goggles! He's ready for any kind of weather, dust, snow, or anything else the galaxy can throw at him!(spit take)LOL,no kidding.Kool mando kolti.glad you made it in time,that's one more we can add to the mando clan.sweeter then yoo hoo.
Well I did tell incom yesterday that as long as he was close to the cut off time that we would accept it and since you stayed up so late to get it in, Joe, I will allow it. Nice job on that one, by the way. I was kind of shocked when I scrolled down and seen him.
Nice job to you as well, orange. Welcome to the mando club.
Alright folks, that's all the entries we will be accepting for this contest.
I will put up a voting thread when I get home from work tonight in about 12 hours.
Thanks again to everyone for making this one kick butt contest.
May the best mando win.
