Paint Pens + Why They Are Cool!!!

a paint pen is the best thing to color on your custom clones because it draws smoothly and colors over things.

the paint pen will not work when you open it.  you have to shake it a good bit.  the cap should be on while you're shaking it - to keep the paint from shooting out!  to get it to start working, you have to press the tip on a piece of paper a few times.  a little bit of paint may shoot out of the tip.  and then it starts working.

when you use a paint pen, your clone will look like it was made this way (as if it came from the lego factory).

be careful, you might make mistakes.  paint pens are permanent!  fingernail polish remover will NOT remove the paint (you might have to use crazy chemicals from your gramps to get it off!!!)

First Post Ever!!!

in this space i will be writing about my lego collection. i collect clones + i make custom ones. the first time i made a custom clone, i didn't make any more for a little while. then, i started to do it more often.
i use sharpie markers, finger nail files, finger nail polish remover and sometimes a drill to make my clones. it takes a little while to make one.

if you are going to use a fingernail file it will take a little more time. if you are going to use finger nail polish remover, it might not always work! if you are going to use a sharpie marker, it will not come off (it's a permanent marker!). the fingernail polish remover may remove the marker if you are doing it right. the drill is used to make a hole so that you can attach a visor to the clone's helmet if you drill in the right spot.

i hope you like it. i'm just getting started.
