How to get the "fin" off

I want to make a clone commando but I don't know how to get the "fin" part of the helmet off the clone. Any ideas?

my bad, confused you w/ legorev

I'm a modder... and not a purist... I'm also for a peace treaty... .

So Wuzzupbob any ideas?

back on topic, Exacto knife... That's what I used back in the day (before casting). Do not get too close though, Leave a little extra and get some SUPER fine sand paper to sand down flat to match the rest of the head. I use 400 grade. Smoother the better

Exacto knife? And what is 400 grade? Man I should really touch up on my modder vocabulary.

Simply use nail clippers and sand it.

Or using just sandpaper works. If you don't have a steady hand.

Exacto Knife/Blade


Sand Paper

400 grade is just the number on the back (Higher the number finer the sand paper, Lower the number the more coarse it is; bigger chunks)

I use sandpaper, and it works.

I have an electric sander with a pen-shaped sandpaper point at the end that spins around really fast. It takes the fin off really well, I then put some gloss over the top to get rid of the roughness. That's what I did for my Boss.

Blow torch, chain saw, and a stick of gum.

I use a large knife to cut of the majority of the fin, then use 300 grade sandpaper. It works brilliantly!

HOW do your helmets turn out!??!?!?

Oh! He said "Helmets"!

I dont really know how to but do you think it will look cool if you used Ep. 3 clones?

Oh so thats how it looks like. I think Ill do that for some of my movies.

I just use my dad if something for LEGO needs to be cutted.

Check out my dead legion, and you will see that 2 regiments have clones with no fins.

Yeah I was going to have a phase 2 helmet with no fin. So I just get sandpaper and start rubbing it on the fin?

Search up 101st legion in the search box

So, you just sand the fin off?

Yep... that's the best way.

Somehow, that post just gives me the image of you holding you dad and cutting bits of a LEGO brick, sorry.
