Yeah one of my clones somehow had the helmet decals slide to the side of the helmet a little bit so now he’s accepted his fate as a battle-worn clone and i nicknamed him “crooked”

This is really a good way. I can’t do this right now, but I definitely will do that if Lego doesn’t make new shock troopers. I personally thought you would buy phase two 212 troopers and you would erase their colors and color them red very carefully.

Why would he buy phase two 212 troopers

@dunsparcetv9036

@@bulgarianstormtrooper6952 because the older once are easier to erase the color and normal phase 2 clones are expensive, because they rarely came in a normal set and their demand is very high. The only problem is the torso, but people have been using the phase 1 torso for them.

Your process is very similar to mine! I also just had to replace some of my sealing bricks because they were causing legs to crack as well. Decaling is an art that is perfected over time and you are definitely getting good at it!

Thank you for that video! I wanted to get into clone decaling for some time, but I was looking for decals that were very similar to Lego style so the clones I've got could go together with the custom ones. It seems like the right one!

How unfortunate phase 1 helmets are sould out. To be honest I do not mind if the minifigure is original or decaled. Decals brings you more options I do similar stuff with armybuilding but in medieval style where there are knights and decals offers unique option to do something LEGO won t do.
