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.

I already like the look of this guy, Sniper!  Looking forward to seeing what he looks like finalized!  (somehow your pic didn't get posted here in my response though...on p. 2)

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

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!

AFE: I agree wholeheartedly with Spry...really a knockup job on this Mando babe!  (I mean Baba Fett!)   I struggle in fusing the two different fig types and admire those who really pull it off well. 

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

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!

Yeah, we'll see...I've been abnormally busy since school started, so it may not happen this time around... :-\

Got a couple of wip shots of a helmet mix that I am playing around with for my custom mando. I didnt post an above the helmet shot but the taper towards the front of the sun visor is bugging me and I plan to widen it out.

Awesome! It looks a bit like you're standing in an Imperial trash compactor there Clonehead. There are easier ways to get thin if that's your goal ;)

Awesome mando, Wolf!
I widened out that visor on this mixed helmet that was bugging me so much.
