This opens up a lot of possibility for recreating specialized units that are seen in the ̶0;Star Wars̶1; movies and ̶0;Star Wars: The Clone Wars̶1; cartoon series. There are many different types of clone troopers from which to choose. You can even create your own brand of Clone Trooper and develop a backstory that describes the unit̵7;s heroics during the Clone War.

Instructions

    • 1

      Draw an outline on a piece of paper of what you want your mini figure to look like. Color areas and add details to see which combination works best for you.

    • 2

      Remove the helmet from the Clone Trooper mini figure, which should feature the default LEGO head. You can swap the default head for any LEGO head that you have available. Draw some scars, tattoos or wrinkles for added effect with the fine-tipped black marker.

    • 3

      Let the head dry for at least two minutes. Keep the helmet off for now.

    • 4

      Find the utility belt that is printed on the Clone Trooper mini figure̵7;s torso, located where the legs and torso meet. Softly color in pieces of the utility belt with fine-tipped color marker according to your outline.

    • 5

      Color other areas of the torso with color marker based on your outline. The printed-on breastplates, which are located below the head, are areas that will make your mini figure stand out when colored or accented with color.

    • 6

      Pull the arms straight out of the torso to pop them off. Color arms and let dry for at least two minutes.

    • 7

      Outline one diamond on the center of each leg of the mini figure with the black marker to serve as the kneepads. Color in with color marker or add fine details with black marker.

    • 8

      Cut a narrow ̶0;U̶1; shape out of colored electrical tape with scissors. Place on either side of the crest of the Clone Trooper helmet. Cut a thin strip of tape and place directly on the black line that sits above the goggle portion on the helmet.

    • 9

      Draw any additional details on the helmet.

    • 10

      Put the LEGO cloth cape over the neck joint. Push the head down on the neck joint, sandwiching the cloth cape between the torso and the head. Place the helmet over the head and click in place.

    • 11

      Snap both arms back onto the torso. Place a LEGO blaster in one of the mini figure̵7;s hands.

    • 12

      Display prominently on your desk, on your LEGO battlefield, or on the web.
