Delta squad.

I recently decided to try paper slipovers for Some republic commando minifigs. I don't plan to do this often because of the time it takes to design these, but it looks pretty good I think. My first fig is Sev. I couldn't find dark red legs so he has brown for now. Also the helmet is a stand in until I finish sculpting mine.

*looks at picture*

*gulps*

Sev is not blue.

Sorry. I based that part off the pic I found here on Rebelscum:

I see one itty bitty dash as opposed to three whole blips.

Sorry if I sound like a noob, but can I have a blank template for your slipover?

Tell me, what about that inquiry sounds remotely noobish to you?

Not bad, but the slipovers could be placed a little more firmly on. It's not bad, but as said above, there is too much blue. Otherwise, it's not bad.

I don't know. I might get called a noob for asking a question like that rather than looking for one.

Stone, just ignore anything 80-0 says. EVER. You'll get on way better that way.

I endorse this post.

I don't.

Tough for you. Also, five words!

Ok. Thanks J4ke! (I guess I should listen if an Admin endorses it! )

He isn't an Admin. And Jinja and J4ke just happen to hate 80-0.

No, he meant he should listen to J4kes' post because of the red admin writing saying 'I endorse this post'.

I'd say that writing's more of a brownish colour...

Ah..

The mystery is solved. Add it to the annals, Watson.

But to get back on topic...the paper's white doesn't match the 'fig too well, and it looks rather loose. Have you tried stickers? They're much better, and come out looking very well if done right. And, if you're doing clones, you can buy transparent sticker paper that looks almost as good as waterslide decals. I suggest that for sure!

It's a sweet design, I think the rust (whatever it is) makes the figure looks more realistic, but the mixing colours aren't so great.

If by rust you mean dark red marks, that isn't rust. It's blood.

Ah, explains it all then, I take it's not his blood then.

I asked this earlier but no one really helped me. Can I have a blank template for one of your paper slipover?

This is what I used as a base.
