I too am digging the gold. Off to share on the pages. I never get tired of seeing your Mandos.

You can make all the Mandalorians you'd like, and I'll never tire of seeing them. Love the color scheme on this one, never would have thought the more military green would look cool with gold, though is it plain gold? Looks a bit darker than typical gold paints, but definitely enhances the look, and what body did you use as a base?

Thanks....I have another Mandalorian that's finished, I just need to take pictures of him, and another one that I am currently in the process of finishing up on.

The gold paint is called Metallic Glorious Gold.  It was painted over black primer, and then weathered, so it looks even darker.

The base figure was a gi joe alley viper:

Here's my update on Del Moomo.  Obviously still a WiP, but I'm getting close to finishing him.  I still have quite a bit of sculpting to do on the arms, arm bands, shoulder pads, etc.  I also need to create his red scarf that he has.  After that, just a few more odds and ends, and then time for painting.

Thanks.  I can't wait until all sculpting is done so that I may start painting him.  I'm not really crazy about ithorians, but after seeing sith_fire30's ithorian, I just had to do one.

I second JDeck's sentiment. That Hammerhead's going to bring the beat-downs!

Here's my latest update on Del Moomo.  Other than sanding down a few rough spots, he is pretty much ready to be primed and painted.

Thanks, I'm really happy with the sculpt work on this one....and love the articulation on a character that typically didn't have the best articulation in figure form.

Ok, Del Moomo is complete.  Whew, that took quite a bit of work.  So much sculpting went into him.  I used marvel infinite Hyperion figure, because I wanted the articulation and size.  Looking up Ithorians, I see that they're pretty large, some as tall as 8 feet.  I know that the official hammerhead figures tend to not convey proper scaled size, but ithorians are tall.
So the base figure was a dremeled down Hyperion, although you can't tell, due to all of the sculpt used on him.  The head, hands and feet were from an old Hammerhead figure.  I had to cut his head in half, in order to make the base head longer, and then resculpted those side scaled things (whatever they are).  The eyes in the hammerhead figure were also just thin slits, so I had to resculpt the eyes.  The should pads are attached via magnets, so that his arms retain full articulation.

The other 2 figures are mandalorians that I was working on.  The first one is using those new marauder task force figures by marauderinc (cool figures by the way) and the second one a gi joe figure. 

Since ithorians are tall, I included an image with all 3 together to show how he scales next to them.
(I suck at taking pictures, so small details like the various shades of a base color go unnoticed. 
Enjoy:
