Not sure if you guys remember, but about a year ago, I was supposed to make a 6" Mandalore the Ultimate.  It didn't take me a year to make, but I kinda put him away and never went back to him.  Anyway, recently, I started working on him again, and he's almost finished.  The below was the image I posted about a year ago, but since then, I've got his other parts sculpted and ready to go.  I just need to get him painted and the soft goods added.  Hopefully I get some images up soon.

Here goes Mandalore the Ultimate.  He stands at about 6.5" tall.  My pic taking skills are teh suck, in person, he looks a whole lot better.

All armored pieces are either sculpted or are made with styrene sheeting.  His shoulder pads connect via magnets, so that they can cling on over the cloak.

Wow, he turned out amazing, and with 6" Revan coming out, your going to be able to put together a badass showdown. Is that canvas for his cape, or painted cloth? Whatever it is, the thickness adds to him, for the descriptions of Mandalorians wearing such things are that they are made from thick hides to protect from shrapnel damage. Nice magnet usage on the shoulder plates, I have the same plan for my 3.75" scale one when I get around to him. Super job overall, I really enjoy him.

Thanks.  It's a fabric I got from Joann's, which was almost like denim, but thinner.  It was black, and painted in red, with some brown and yellow weathering here and there, which doesn't show in the photo since it's so subtle.

I saw this on FB last night and had to share it to our page before I saw your post here. Please read my comments on the front page and I mean it (my comments not you have to go to the front page, but I would just sayin).

I also think your pic taking skills are fine. Wish my camera took as clear a shot.

Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it.

This project might just be my favorite you have started. Just a really great application of soft goods to a figure. It makes him look tough, not prissy which is usually the case.

LOL.  You should have seen his first cloak.  I used an old silk like shirt that my wife no longer wanted, it was an awesome red...but it indeed made him look...prissy.

Impressive, most impressive! He turned out really magnificent. Love the KOTOR/SWTOR era EU and this is a fabulous addition to figure-dom. He'll make a wonderful show piece for the 6 inch figures.

I'm backkkkkkkkkkk :)

I haven't posted recently, because many of my recent customs have been non-star wars (marvel mostly).
Anyway, I've recently completed my latest mando (covert ops).  He's made using a marauder task force figure (love em).

Enjoy.

this guy is pretty great. Do you mind if I do an offshoot of him. I have an overabundance of 6 inch Jango Fetts and have been trying to find a use for them
