Did you have much trouble removing the range finder and other parts from the helmet ?
I guess it is true that real Mandos eat Ramen noddles :)
 
welcome to TDH
good start
are you going to have any add ons? example-cloak/kama/bandolier
and are you going to change something with the armor or the helmet to make it a different design from everyone else?
 
nice start. you will ahve to cut out the bottom part of the helmet visor section to get your visor installed....

skirts are for girls...or clones!

:D
 
The range finder came off pretty easy with a flat head screwdriver. Its going to resemble a basic mando but i'm going to have my own designs and possibly a mini skirt. I want to make a belt and holster for my pink guns. I kept the piece in the visor to keep its shape. Does anyone know where i can get some pink Mythosaur skull decals?? THANKS!!
 
Great start so far. I started with a DP96 myself. Yours looks to have a great shape to it. Great choice by filling in the lettering in the back, and ordering a bobamaker visor, I did the same as well. Try Lucksy31, he may be able to help with the decal
 
Welcome and great progress so far. It's great to have more Fem Mandos! By the way, do your dishes!:lol:
 
You should fill in the dent on the helmage, if your goin custom design it looks a bit unoraginal with the boba dent . this is just my opinian...
 
Welcome to the board Tiffany. :cheers

Looks like you are off to a good start. I would have to agree, however, no need to keep the original BF dent for a custom.

Did you already do some sketches of what you are going for? Those are always inspirational. Can't wait to see more progress.
 
Thanks everyone. I thought about filling in the dent but kind of liked the way it looked. No sketching, just playing it by ear. My boyfriend is pretty good at helping me.
 
Great job (y) I can not wait to see how it well look when weathered and the battle damage is painted.
For your decal ,have you thought of making a stencil to paint it so the "pink" is the same as on your helmet and armor?
 
Oh yeah, thats a must. I want to put some pink designs on the chest armor and I'm looking for a fabric of some sort to make a skirt to match the pink.
....
Thanks! hah i got very OCD when i was masking off the helmet. Im an artists so its in my bloody to be anal retentive.
....
A pink tinted visor would be sweet! I never thought of that.
