ARC trooper

Right now i'm trying to make my own ARC trooper.Its my first custom minifig that i've made so it doesnt look that good.



All i have left to do is paint the helmet, cover the paint and decals with glue, and make the kama and shoulder pad thing. Does anyone know what i can use to make the kama and shoulder pad thing and where to get it? (please dont get mad at me just because i dont know what the shoulder pad thing is)

Not yet public, but I'll take a look at it when it is!

Yawn. Wake me up when it's open.

Gosh all i wanna know is some helpful tips and what you guys use for the kama and the shoulder pad. This is my first time at custom minifig making for pete sake!

The folder's not public is what their saying.

Oh ok srry

Well if the folder doesnt get public soon then just type in clonetrooper141 and go into my Clones folder.

STILL not public! I'll have to keep checking back...

Ok i fixed it Look back up.

I tried, I got a "This folder is not yet public" sign, also I think you meant Brickshelf.

I like it. The fin looks sharp and crisp, excellent job. Arm decals look just a little big though. Over all I like it a lot!

arc clothes ==> craft/hobby store ==> printable cloth-like paper

Around the eyes are blue.

I like this, but I can see you used sticker paper, if you do make sure it covers the whole body part because the shades of white are not exactly the same.

Hey, lay off! For you're first custom, I think it's really well done. It's not in anyway slopp, as far as I can tell! I'm not a modder, so it may not count for much, but I think it's great!

Nice, great trooper. You did all the work yourself? It isn't WBob's.

That's REALLY REALLY good for your first time, heck, for ANY time for that matter, nice job! Oh and the skirt is called a Kama, and the shoulder thing is a Pauldon.

Looks very nice, indeed!

Nice work for a first timer! I like the decals!

Heck, I gave up on stickers and decals when I had to call one trooper "Mud" because he looked so terrible .

Okay, okay... it is very far from slop, in-fact I would buy this.

Thanks!

Heh, got to finally take a loot at it Arc, nearly flawless. My only point I can see upon improvement is the blending of the decals on the legs, as they seem to stand out a little. Do that and it should look perfect.

I think they are fine! At least they can be moved without damage !

There's no doubt that this trooper is good, it's just (imho) that it would look better if we did not see the outline of the decals on the front of the legs. Either the use a different paper source (if that's what it was), or just move the end of the decal to the side of the legs to add a little, more flow.
