Tatooine mando

hi guys i was wondering if there was any tusken raider chief or something like that. Like a important tusken or something. Cause my mando kills tuskens as well from all the other jobs i get. its a long story tusen killed me parents and took me prisoner when i was just a lad. Its alot more exciting then that thats just the begining. if u want to hear my story sometime ill tell u guys....anyways back to wht i was talking about, is there any important tusen in the tribes and i was thinking of puting his head on my belt or something.

Well, there's the Tusken Raider Chief...

heres my mandos helmet

Thats a female tusken

thats wht i thought

helm looks pretty cool. That must've sucked to be taken prisoner by the Tuskens.

wht does every body else think?

The helmet looks great. I like the red smear on the side. The story sounds ineresting as well. You ought to wright it up and post it. I am working on finishing up my mando's story and my wife is working on hers as well. I enjoy reading the different ideas people have for their characters, it really shows the depth of our attraction to Star Wars and the Mandos.

Dang.....pretty good story.

:thumbupthat is an awesome story so far!!!!!!! Keep it up dude!

Heres my mando so far how is he turning out? sry about the pics being sideways.

needs gloves

i need to get gloves ya lol. um but how is it so far besides that?

anyone? no?

My neck won't turn that far....

Otherwise...looks good from what I can tell. Are you doing chest armor?

yep i sure am =)

is the red suppose to represent something? like blood, cause it looks like a juvenille got a hold of some spray paint and got you in the helmet good!

well its supost to be blood but i gusse it doesnt like like blood. i gusse ill try to fix it.

One tusken Jedi coming up.

can i have some pointers on my crapy blood slater on my helmet? i hoped that my mando would have been better. im no where close to being done but still.

when blood dries it is darker, more brown and there would be splashes of it, yours looks too smeared on...

my blood spot is suppost to be a hand print of blood. thanks for the tip

No, I get it. Your going for the Sev look right?

It may just be your camera but I would definitely go for more of a red rather than a realistic dried blood look.

Hmmm. If you bought a Death Star gunner helmet, you'd have a complete costume.

yep ur absolutly right im doing the Sev look
.

i painted my knee pads today and i fixed up my mask. Pics are on there way if u guys would like to see the progress?

Sure. Post em up.

Good story, you need to revise it for spelling errors and add paragraphs of course.

About the blood smear, when blood dries its usualy black and clumped and more random, also I dont know I tusken blood is red or not, might want to research that.

But what you can do for blood splatter is tape up the visor and get a nice dried blood color and take a very dry paint brush and at a distance sort of fling it on the helmet, and then take some fresh blood color and not so much fling it on, You can practice it on cardboard first. but I think a blood splatter would look better than a swear.

Nice i like ATHF as well that show is halarious. Master shake is my favorite but he is a idiot lol.

i really like your story and how you did the armor but if your a tusken hunter dont you think you need dust? i personally think you should do what the sandtroopers do along with your costume.i was going to do that with my costume also..it would probably make you look more like a tusken hunter...but who knows

if you're still wondering about the chief, you should play the first KOTOR, there's a whole sequence on sand people "society", and a chief is clearly represented.

Looks cool...but I would think that a Tatooine Mando would have a brown/tan based color scheme and more of a tribal look...just my $.02

where the hell do u see anything on aqua teen??? ive razed this thread to the ground w/ the search button... i see nothing on aquateen...

that is by far my favorite show..ever

His signature used to have a ATHF quote in it.

Games Workshop makes a paint color--Blood. It would work well for what you're doing.

ok, remember how i said it would probably look cool if you did sandtrooper weather look with it also? i just tried it myself and its easy to do and came out better then i thought...although i like my stuff REALLY dusty so it doesnt have to look like mine lol look at the forum posted by me called "My First Ever Weather Attempt" and see what you think of it lol. with your storyline i think it would be cooler, but thats just me i guess

You can always tell which of the members are married, lol. I speak from experience, of course

thanks for the advice. here r my pics now i re did lots of stuff even th blood. wht do u think?

i like the weathering but the blood still looks alittle pinkish lol...maybe its just the camera? who knows

yes actually i find that the camera makes my pics of my armor look bad. our camera isnt very good. lol.

I think you suit ooks good but for some reason i think it looks very German....

German? How did you see any bit of... oh wait, I see it. Don't take it the wrong way though, it's not a bad thing.

i dont see any german... i dont get it?
bitchin RF my friend

in a couple of the pictures the way it outlines looks kind of reminiscent of a WW2 german tank driver.

once you slap some armor plates on it that will change though. keep it up though you got the right idea. Every project I did made me step back and ask that's NICE... but what can I add to make it better.

Not married, but I have a girlfriend of a year-and-a-half. I've learned who's boss



As far as the story goes, I'm not so sure; I mean, it's possible, as there are at least three canon incidents of the Tuskens adopting those they've captured; Sharad Hett, A'Sharad Hett, and Tahiri Veila.
But Tuskens are not supposed to be portrayed as the type who would adopt others into their culture on a regular basis; they do not trust outsiders, especially given the environment of Tatooine itself. They war against moisture farmers, and slaughter those they come across, leaving none alive if possible.
Call me an EU snob, but it just doesn't seem believable from a canon perspective.


For the blood-smear, what you could do is paint the palm of your hand, as well as your fingers, with blood-red paint (or even brownish-red), and drag it across the helmet to give it a realistic, ritualistic look.
