Greetings All Madalorian's . I'm Glad that I have found my brothers at last. I have always wanted to be A Fett,ever since I first saw him on the big Screen. So now in True Mandalor Fashion I will be building several Sets of Armor and Buckets.My own little Army..
Now every one on here has their own Style,Very Cool. So as not to fall under To much Perfection. Which will come with time I'm Sure. I have Started on my First Set of Armor from Info on here .Great Stuff. I have Chosen Llats Ward to be my first because he is still very new and very cool looking. I hope to attend some Shows and finally meet my True Brothers in Arms.

Looks good man. Someone else was working on a LW at one time, not sure how far along they have gotten. Keep it up =D

I've gotten pretty far. The knees and cod are complete too, the bucket is on the way, and the jumpsuit still needs to be dyed. After that it's just the cape and it's done.

Well, here's as far as I am. I'm going to modify the blaster at the top to look more like a Lewis gun. I've got a jumpsuit and it'll be dyed the right color once my new Boba ESB jumpsuit is ready. I've got a Nintendo Zapper I'll modify for the pistol too. The belts and pouches will come later.

Thanks for the compliments TxF.

The blaster should work out well. The blaster rifle on the figure looks like a Lewis, but a little different and smaller in proportion, so I think the one I've got will work well once I add the large barrel and strap.

Did anyone happen to notice how wierd it is that you have a Mando'ade in black armor (hmm... reminds me of Vau) and you have one in gold (hmm... he reminds me of Kal)... And you have Rav Bralor who knows them both and is introduced in Republic Commando True Colors.

Gold-armored figure was supposed to be Kal. But when Karen saw the headsculpt, she asked that they change the name because it looked too young. There is no figure with black armor, the one that you think looks that way has silver armor. Karen was consulted on the names for all the figures, so she had a big hand in it.

Here you go, i guess you could imagine that it is vau and skirata in their prime. But if these color schemes are accurate to the character it would be a pretty dam good reference. Wonder if someone could ask karen about this.

From what I heard, the tan Mando was supposed to be Skirata but Karen thought the head sculpt was too young.

They should have changed the head sculpt! Oh well, I'll just do it myself.

I think, from what I know, that the only difference between the gold-armor figure (can't remember the name) and Kal's armor is that Kal has a jet-black visor surround and dark gold cheeks, and that his armor is somewhat metallic-colored. And I've already said, the other figure isn't anything like Vau beyond the same armor style (Jango-style). If you're looking for an accurate Vau reference, there's another topic on here for a highly accurate, Karen-approved Walon Vau. No need to search for it, even, it's the other primary main topic up here.

Incidentally, if you're wondering (for some strange reason) what I look like, the figure with the silver armor's headsculpt, including hair and quasi-goatee, is almost identical to me.

I wouldn't call them Karen approved mandos...she's pretty much stated there is no such thing.

Kal's helmet has no black on it. Ceric is pretty much correct on that, and I believe that there is a pic of a helmet someone from the 501st made Karen that she calls Kal's helmet. Check her website, www.karentraviss.com as it may have a pic on there. Kal also didn't wear a jet pack, so you can loose that part of the outfit...I don't believe Vau did either.

Karen gave them (Hasbro) a huge list of names she came up with as per their request. One of the figures is actually the name of a close friend of hers thats been turned backwards =)

As for asking Karen, I think thats kinda outta the question at this point. People have asked to many questions that are possible continuity breakers for her and she has flat out refused to do it anymore because of that. The only hope we can have is that they do another updated Star Wars character encyclopedia at some point and list them. Then we'll see some accurate pics.

Well, okay, Karen-assisted. And I swear in TC it mentioned a jet-black visor surround... I'll have to check on my re-read.

Neither of them wore jet packs. I know that much for a fact.

And yeah. Lay off with questions to Karen. I've been asking about Etain recently, and all she's been able to do for me is give me a better description of her hair and tell me that the robes were standard brown-and-beige, with everything except the inner tunic and outer robe being beige. She can't tell me anything about either of her lightsabers, because of the continuity breaker problem. Basically, the issue is that detail has to come from the story and come organically, it can't just be stuck in there.
