Day 156, Quasi-Quarantine: Establishing The 13th Legion, Dolphin Battalion


 As mentioned previously, we've been experimenting with painting blank, 3-D-printed clone trooper helmets. We use any tools at our disposal, from toothpicks to tiny brushes to bobby pins to scalpels.

One effort very early in the process involved transferring Miami Dolphins colors onto the minifigure. While we were still refining our process at this point, the end result was not too bad.



We've since tinkered with the torso/leg combination that goes with this helmet, opting for a green color (from an existing minifigure) that offsets the strong orange and green.

When all this started, this wasn't the sort of crafting I was anticipating. Nevertheless, here we are, and the work has been surprisingly soothing and shockingly rewarding.
