[@NZForever17]

Those Bly helmets look awesome

[@Koldarth]

You just conviced me to buy Bly just to turn him into a Shock Trooper, Thx dude

[@PsYChOtlC_ShArK]

I might get a second bly and do this to create phase 1 arc fordo

[@Praxever]

Any progress? Thinking about the exact same thing.

[@josyc24]

Thanks dude!! It’s exactly what i was looking for before buying a second bly for customizing

[@beastoptics6016]

Looks great!

[@Bearerofthecurs3]

I got a second Bly for Easter this year so I want to turn him into a 501st boi. This is gonna be helpful

[@rAin-ko1gs]

Yeah me too dude

[@simpleclonetrooper2740]

@@rAin-ko1gs you again? A surprise to be sure but a welcome one

[@colebrigham4701]

This is by far the coolest customizing video ive seen. This is a great idea and you could make some sick figures! Gonna try tmr! Also well done with the tutorial! I subbed! They look so gooddd

[@colebrigham4701]

DARTHBADE will you continue customizing videos?

[@colebrigham4701]

DARTHBADE and did you do anything to the white to make it match his armor

[@GTAfanGTA]

@darthbade you should make a tutorial on how to paint raw 3d prints

[@Foggy_Creations]

Awesome and detailed instructions. You make it look easy

[@user-qt9xg2rw7v]

Looks amazing

[@connerjones5648]

Just found your page! Perfect video that explains everything. I subbed but Please make more content! Would love to see a full dismantling tutorial for different types of clones and figs.

[@slickmanfonzthatanti-troll]

Basically Imperial Commander Bly would look like this, Or have grey In place where his yellow was.

[@Fernandolopez-vc3xs]

This was super dope!!! Keep up the customs!!!

[@sebastianmendez3225]

Man you did a great tutorial, thanks!

[@kylefunk546]

Well time to get multiples an make the 327th

[@presigomez967]

Awesome, do you know how to remove the kama and the utility belt?

[@darthbade2576]

If you don't want to cut off the belt and Kama you can...
Apply the same Hot Water method;
- pop out the legs from the hips
- pull out the belt & kama
- pop back the legs in 👍

[@presigomez967]

@@darthbade2576 ok, I'll give it a shot. I assume the pauldrons come off easily once the head ir removed. Do these tricks work on the new body mold too?

[@darthbade2576]

@@presigomez967 has bro had the pauldron glued on to the body, but it can be pulled off using the same method.
The hot water method does work on the new mould too.

[@PsYChOtlC_ShArK]

Either what I said in my previous comment or a commander deviss or use it for an airborne trooper as the body is much nicer than the purge trooper

[@Joshnuestro]

Love this im going to try! I was just wondering once the figures all white can I start to paint colored stripes or does it need some sort of sanding or primer thanks!

[@loyalwestbriton5410]

I have 1 bly but if i get a few and do this and make a regular phase 2 trooper commander appo and probably a jet trooper from the original battlefront 2.

[@loyalwestbriton5410]

@@darthbade2576 think you man

[@BackYardPropsWA]

So when I am doing this the thighs are yellow, I am shifting the rag so I am not reapplying the yellow paint but it is slightly still yellow

[@colebrigham4701]

What is white spirit

[@wiku7410]

Is pauldron and kama both removable? If yes it might be easier to spray that buddy white and then paint black areas back. Asking cuz I plan doing 327th star corps and buy bunch of bly's to customize and i dont wanna spend hours rubbing paint off with acetone with risk of ruining figure.

[@toyphotography9071]

Debating on getting a second one to make a Jesse

[@fordobricks4351]

Dose this work with the commander fox figure?

[@odbade1999]

only on some parts of the figure. Most of the red parts on Commander Fox are red plastic.

[@fordobricks4351]

@@odbade1999 thanks man I never got bly but I got two commander fox’s so I wanted to make one without the red parts

[@rebelstarcustoms]

Not bad bud, for a more improved figure I recommend dismantling a figure and stripping each part

[@darthbade2576]

amen to that, I fully spray coat dismantled clones with white primer now instead of doing this now.
100% Acetone is a tedious thing to use as the plastic can get tainted with the paint.

[@rebelstarcustoms]

@@darthbade2576 ooooooh yes i have burnt through about $20 of plastic and learnt the hardway

[@DATRATMANZ]

@@darthbade2576 What kind of primer?

[@wobbieway5525]

How do you take off the head?

[@kenobiproductions7335]

He put it in hot water for about a minute, to soften the plastic, then he popped the head

[@ryzer_red]

Looks great!
