    custom mandalorian ideas

    made this one up, might be a nice project for in the summer... what do you guys think?



    ow I forgot, it lacks any form of real detail, such as belts, weapons, greeblies, lights and so on and so on... I'll figure that out when and if I start the pieces themselves..

    I love that! I think it looks just different and strange enough to actually be EU. The only detractor for me is the hood but other than that...

    Thats a really nice design. It looks very much like how Id imagine a sith-mandalorian type character.

    That's cool. I like the emblem being built by the chest armor.

    Re: custom mandalorian ideas

    Very cool. I think you should put the holsters underneath the skirt tho.. They kinda look off where they are, an if you had em under it would be kinda "old west" where you'd have to flip it open to get your guns. Or maybe you have your guns on cross-draw?

    Seems like you have the approval of the HV&M crowd, as I too like it! We have a member on HV&M that has done a Sith-Mando, and your idea looks just as cool.

    Re: custom mandalorian ideas

    thnx people!!

    but I think I'll go back to the drawing board then.

    don't want no Sith Spit

    hmm... a different colour scheme of just the cloak might work, or leave it out all together...

    so things that will make it less sith like will probably be skipping the cloak/changing it dramatically , weathering scheme, less black...

    *EDIT:* and it will also be guns, guns and guns... no swords, no sabers no nothin'... blasters...

    hmm... now that you mention it, it is kind of Revan like... don't like that...

    well I dunno, just brainstorming away here...

    thnx again!!

    Is Revan a sith character from the EU? He sounds like quite a bad-a*$

    I havent read any of the Star Wars books . .exept for Tales of the Bounty Hunters of course

    Yeah, Revan's from the EU. She/He (depending on how you play the game) is from the KOTOR games.

    Interesting to see another mandoskull-on-the-chest-armor custom. The only armor I've seen this done well on is Danakin's because it can be a tricky layout. Good luck with getting it to look good if you keep it in your design, RBF.

    Wow, interesting design. Looks pretty ******, especialy like the hair coming out of the bucket, the giant mando logo, and the skirt part. Go for it, I am sure this will be a awesome costume

    I might try a different colour scheme, but I agree with Ronin, I added the robes to take what makes Boba, Boba, and then add the different touches.

    I want an RBF made custom Mandalorian, not a recoloured Jango or Boba.

    Dude the robes are cool, the only thing I see about this that you might consider changing is the color scheme. Theres like 15000 red and black mandos out there. BTW I agree that a custom shouldn't just be a repainted jango or boba. great custom gear man. Can't wait to see some of this.

    I always thought it would be cool to have a mando with dozens of light sabers on it as tropies of the jedi that you killed But that idea was kinda taken by genral.G

    Re: custom mandalorian ideas

    the tail on the back gave me an idea...

    integrate more Fulgore into the design (ya know, the freakin'awesome cyborg from Killer Instinct?)

    This is alot less Sith like right?

    Re: custom mandalorian ideas

    I like the Mando Revan......It's kinda fits with the story...well if Revan went Mando it would.


    The last one I would drop the claws and the tube things on the helm. The first thing that came to mind was..."Hey look! It's a Preditor Mando" Sorry that is what I saw.


    BTW you have some awesome designs there.

    Cool. Your original designs make me think he might be like a high lord. He doesn't see action because he doesn't have to. He commands the army.
    I'm not to crazy about the second tubes from the cheeks. Looks kinda predator. Good work!

    Re: custom mandalorian ideas

    thnx guys an gals!!

    with your advice and that of others I think it's clear I need to stick to the essentials, so no Sith Spit, no over the top changes...

    here's one with a colour scheme I tried to create using a Roman legionary as reference...

    I kinda like this one.



    ow and I will try to get around to this in the summer

    Re: custom mandalorian ideas

    thnx

    I think I'll be going with the Roman look... don't know why but it just looks right, and it's far from Sith or jedi like.

    I can even give this dude a sword or a lance or anything and it still won't be jedi like.

    the armor ofcourse will be weatherd... kind of bronze, gold, silver...shiny, but still dirty (ala Jango)

    no clue for guns, just makin' it up as I go along.

    I like the form though, the hair and the robes... colours might change some more but I really like the form.

    I agree with Orthar. I really like this one.

    Time period wise, it appears post KOTOR but not quite modern Mando.

    yups!! someone at our dutch board said he liked the Roman idea aswell, even though he thought at first the first design was the best.

    but with assecoires etc...this might be really nice, here's a sketch he did:

    I'm gonna do some sketches myself aswell in the future...

    go ahead, though these are designs for me, so I used stuff that I like.

    So your own concept will suit you much better.

    I'll keep brainstorming ahead though, but the one I will be making I won't post

    post your progress!!

    Re: custom mandalorian ideas

    yeah Cyrax/Sektor/Smoke is a pretty cool character. I'm trying to look at MK characters and stuff (also Killer Instinct, obviously) cause some characters are very cool designs.

    that medeviel spawn looks very cool, though far 2 over the top to actually be recreatable, it even has so much going on on that suit it's... not even inspiring for what I want to do extremely cool, though extremely fake... fake as in cannot recreate anything.

    *EDIT* thnx mods!!

    ow and on a side note:
    thank you TDH, this just shows how willing you are to listen to your members, without going over-board and lose TDH it's essence: Boba Fett.

    you guys rock!!
