Phase 2 Clones Like They Oughta Be (UPDATED!)

Last winter, we posted a tutorial on how to upgrade your Phase 2 clone trooper figures if you were unhappy with the bulky helmets that Hasbro has elected to use on their Phase 2 clones for a while now.

After looking at the figures on my shelf for a while now, I realized something was missing… they needed some weathering!  A bit of repainting with some Testors acrylics really brings these figures to life – if you’d like to follow this technique, head on over to our Tutorial Section of the forums by clicking on the image above!
