ABL's Custom Clones

Okay, well t's no secret anymore, I use decals, but I've never shown any of my work here, so here goes. These are the first time I've ever applied decals so go easy on me, anyways here they are:

Cough"Edit button"Cough But it does look pink! Did you paint the arms?

On Fordo the stripe decal needs to extend to the visor.

Pretty good.... and too everyone else: The rest is awesome! I love the secrets that ABL PM's me!

Yeah, for some reason Kam's (Who's these obviously are) doesn't.

Yes, I was too impatient to use the good camera, and then upload it, transfer it to my computer, and then show you. So I used my web cam, which in this light makes it look pink, but I assure you, in real life it is VERY much red.

I'm loving your FAR trooper! Did you get the idea for them from me? I invented FAR troopers, the acronym at least. Forward Advanced Recon troopers...Advanced Scouts for the 222nd since 0 hour Clone Wars! Mine are pretty much just Kashyyyk troopers though.

Actually, they're Canon, FAR Troopers are mentioned in Republc Commando True Colors, but yes, you were a great inspiration as well.

What the heck Karen Traviss! You totally stole my flippin idea! My FAR troopers were up on brickshelf way before True Colors came out!

Then she should actually owe you some cash!

Maybe she did! That's okay, LEGO keeps stealing MY ideas for sets, it's weird, I make a custom AT-AP, a month later a SET comes out of it! Then I make a Custom V-19, then a SET! And finally I ake a Indy Flying Wing AND then a set is announced about it! I know it'sjust a big coincidance, but it's a WEIRD one!

Meh... but your MOCs always look better ABL!

LEGO should seriously should hire some people from this site.

Haha, thanks TB! In the case of the Pod Walker, LEGOs looked better though.

The ARC trooper isn't very good or realistic in my opinion, but my god is that FAR trooper sexy ABL!

Love the FAR trooper.P.S do you need blank minifigs for waterslide decals?????

Delta, I am pretty sure you don't have to... though having plain body does help ...

Yea, if you put waterslide decals on top of existing printing it'll look really weird and probably mess up the figure.

You really need a blank torso.

Awsome! I love the FAR trooper , he's realy good.

Yep, decals don't match exactly, I use blanks.

You already showed me but I'll say it again: Very cool!

Sweetness! I love that FAR!

Okay, many people share that same sentiment, so guys, could you tell me what's wrong with him?

He's a little glossy, and seems to look a little 'fat' or wide. The FAR trooper is really awesome I'm telling you. These are your first decals though right?
