Heya all,

I'm currently working on a skin for a 'Mandalorian Special Forces' perhaps to accompany Mandalore on the Ravanger. (90SK, if I release this I think I may need your permission, as think I may have used you blue mandalorian instead of the default one... let me know if I have...)

Anyways; let me know what you think, suggestions welcome :)

Screenie below.... (click to see bigger version)

Armour plates I've yet to start on; been playing around with greyscale etc, but think I'll retexture them.

Fullscale pic should be found here;

Yeah they're nice; though I personally prefer keeping the mandalorians their intended colour myself; and adding additional 'special ranks'.

No offence but I also fail to see the relevance of your post to the thread.

Now this i like.

Looking Very Very god J7.

Thanks, any thoughts of improvements/ideas?

The only thing i could think of to make this skin better would be a small mythosaur skull at the back of the neck, the grey area there is perfect for it.

Other than that it's perfect.

I really like it. I would download if you released it right now.

Good job. :)

Problem is its not a full area; its split in half and mirrored; I'll stick the Mand logo somewhere....

Mmm. I like that. I don't care for the back of its head, but everything else looks nice. Good work!

Merci, although in the update I stuck the old screenie; so the new ones are now there; changed the front; didn't think what was there was brilliant in keeping with the tone I was going for; though I think I may have gone a little too dark...

Thanks; I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with it atm; for the moment tho, if anyone wants it; I can send you it via email :)

Which front do people prefer? The top one of the bottom one?

Hey J7.

Why don't you make three versions, one for each of the original armors?

I'm hoping you do, as i really like both versions.

Be sure to use this one, if you do:

since we're dealing with KotOR here.

And, the newer version is looking better! Keep it up!

The camo patterns don't really look good on a dark suit, IMO. Also, the metal pads don't really fit well with the stealth-ish and leathery look of the armor itself. ;)

Thanks for the cooments guys :)

Personally I quite like the grey camo; however I may do a seperate version; more in tune with what your saying :)

My current thinking is to give Xarga and Bralor the unique special forces armour/look.
