Not bad at all, and I'm sure any changes you make would make a great fig even better!

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

I decided to change out a previous custom to allow me to have another base for one of the Null ARCs.  Mereel was the last one and so, since it's kind of hard to get the Vintage Jango, I decided to use Boris' custom.  For Boris, I used a Montross body.

This is still a WIP but I did want to show him off a bit.

Few Iktotchi become Mandalorians but Xarta Geinik's transport was boarded by pirates when he was young.  The crew, most of the passengers, and his parents were killed.  One other passenger was barely alive.  Xarta did what he could to help the passenger live.  For several days they lived on what was left in the galley with minimal life support.  Just before the last of the ship's systems went offline, the crew of a Mandalorian assault ship came across the transport.  One of the crew stopped the gunner from firing upon the ship when they saw a face in a viewport.  They were all impressed with the way Xarta carried himself.  They brought Xarta and the other passenger aboard and made for Concord Dawn.  The passenger survived and stayed on with a farming family to recover.  Xarta asked to stay with the clan that found him.  He eventually became head of Clan Chi and later, Mandalore.

Awesome new WIP!  The Iktotchi species works well for just about any seedy, questionable occupation out there.  Mandos?  Perfect fit for an Iktotchi!  

Can't wait to see your final 'tuneups' on this one!

Well, crud.  There's another project someone beat me to and did better on than I would.  ;)  (I bought a Saesee in clone armor specifically to make an Ikt. Mando...)

:thumbsup:  Looks better than it did in my mental imagery - good work.

Thank you all for the high praise, especially on a WIP.  I've been envisioning this one for months.  

JM - Yes, I love the idea of using Iktotchi everywhere.  So far, I've got a gladiator, bounty hunter, and now Mando.  We'll see what's next.

Doc - I know whatever you end up doing for an Iktotchi Mando, it would be great.  

Tamer - The Mythrosaur is my favorite part.  I know in the comic book, it's black but the detail gets lost on the actual weapon.  I knew if I painted the butt of the rifle wood colored, I had to add the silver on the Mythrosaur.  The same on Boba Fett's rifle.  Hasbro does it sometimes and sometimes, not.  

DS - Bald is Beautiful.
