Welcome back,
Well here is the
start to the Mandolorian Warrior, now with any custom figure I do I always look
for reference pics from all types of sources be it the internet, books or even
comics or even your own imagination. Now this is a simple custom as you can see
in
PIC-1 and
PIC-2 is the
VOTC Boba Fett figure and all I've done is removed the legs and added the TAC
Galactic Marine Troopers legs to him.
Now from here
I've super glued all the joints together once I got the desired pose I wanted
and then I started filling in the gaps with the good old plasta-scene and then
added 3 layers of super glue over the plasta-scene and let dry. I then added
plasta-scene to the front visor section of the helmet has I just want the eye
section visible and again added 3 layers of super glue and let dry. |

Now this is where
I started adding bits and pieces to the figure to get the desired look I wanted
for example the pouches in
PIC-2
are some 1/35 scale pouches that I have had lying in my bits box for
ages.
PIC-1 the
shoulder armour is from the Evil Dead figure series, the chain and O-rings on
the left chest section are some old jewellery chains, the O-ring on the left
side of the helmet is from some old jewellery and the site scope on the right
side is from a 1/18 scale modern day sniper rifle.
Still in
PIC-1
the rifle butt is from the VOTC Boba Fett rifle and the barrel section
is from a Clone Trooper figure I just cut the back part of the Clone trooper's
rifle then cut the butt off Fett's rifle and then super glued the two section
together. |

In
PIC-2 the side arm and
holster on the right leg is from the Marvel Legends Showdown Punisher figure the
leg strap connecting the holster is a piece of leather. The backpack is from the
VOTC Boba Fett figure I cut down the rocket section and added a smaller part
which I got from the bits box, I then added a Darth maul dual blade to the right
side of the pack and a part from a vibro blade to the left side.
In
PIC-1 & 2 can see the
vibro blade I have constructed for him which is a piece of plasti-rod cut to
length and the ends of the SAGA Boushh blade cut off and added to the top and
bottom then a photo-etched part from a 1/35 scale tank side skirt was super
glued on and pieces of leather were added to the rod section as support straps
and also hand grip and tubing from the Evolution Trooper set was added. The
front and back cloth and the cloak are again pieces of old leather cut to size
and glued in place. |
