Here is a small vignette I made. It has a Mandalorian in the Jungle.

Mandalorian, this vignette is composed of five pieces. I would reccomend adding in a lot more detail, such as brick built trees, grass, more rugged terrain, maybe even a stream, etc. It's a neat concept, but as it is, this vignette is scratching the bottom in terms of depth.
Also, the Mandalorian depicted could use a bit of work. The thing that bugs me most is the lack of cohesion between the helmet and armour, in terms of color. Perhaps some of Kaminoan's decals work do the trick?
In addition, the scene isn't exactly what I'd call intriquing; the minifig is just standing there. He could be stalking through the wilderness shadowing a target, or stopping for the night to build a shelter. Just a couple of ideas.
And lastly, the scene presented more resembles a forest than a lush jungle.
I hope that you don't take this the wrong way, I'm just trying to help by giving you a few pointers. :)

I have to agree with obxcrew. I would add more color like brown, or gray rocks.

Maybe add a dirt path and cheese slope bricks in brown look good for rocks in the dirt. Other rocks can look detailed when composed of dark bley cheese slopes.

Nice fig and all but i have to agree: it is very small and undetailed. It is more like a minifig-display thing =/

I would say replace the sand-green pieces with regular green, and have him holding the gun cross body.

I agree with the others, it looks kind of, um, bland? Try adding grass and maybe different mini-fig posture, and some different colored foiliage in general

Everything that has been said above is true. The "base" would be more suitable for displaying a minifig, rather then trying to be a vig. You should consider getting some slopes and plants and other details that bring MOCs to life. Take your time, and something great could happen. Also, Mandalorians almost never wear camo. You always (in KotOR) see them in a dull red, blue or yellow suit. Green, not so much. One more bit of advice: Try using a Auto-9 for a Mandalorian Heavy Blaster. It also works for the Clone Trooper's DC-17.

I know this vig needs work. I dissasembled it, it was not ment to be for display. Also the Mando is a custom and the camo is representing this. The vig was never ment to be displayed. Also Kotor was 5,000 years before the empire so thing might have changed.

Mandalorian wrote:Also the Mando is a custom and the camo is representing this. Thats Boba Fett. He's Jango Fett's clone son, and is a Bounty Hunter in Mandalorian armor, but not a Mandalorian. Mandalorian wrote:Also Kotor was 5,000 years before the empire so thing might have changed. Shortely after KotOR2 (Knights of the Old Republic 2), the Mandalorian ways died out. The Clone armor is based heavely on Mandalorian design, but to see a Mandalorian durring the time frame of Episode 1-6 is not possible. Mandalorian armor, though very rare, can be bought. Jango is proof of that. Hope my Star Wars knowledge helps you to improve this vig.

Sorry, but I have to interject. Both of the Fetts ARE Mandalorians. Just read the comic Jango Fett: Open Seasons to learn of the origins of Jango. As for Boba, he was born and raised as a Mandalorian, and eventually resurrected the Mandalorians.
MOD - Any follow up comments should focus on the vignette itself. Any conversation regarding Star Wars canon should be continued through PM. Thanks.

It looks like Boba Fett, and what is a Mandalorain? [MOD - All you ever wanted to know about Mandalorians. Like obxcrew said, focus on the work posted, not Star Wars backstory. - badger]EDIT: Thanks a lot! It's so nice to know that people are helpful!
