   Hey all,

After an axhausting run, I’ve completed 86 different minifig torso designs, along with a template, and compiled them into another article for Classic-Castle.com. Feel free to check it out HERE.

More great stuff to work with! I wanted to mention adhering the stickers. I suppose sticker paper works, but after the seeing the huge jump in quality with photo paper (not to mention nice stiff sturdy paper), that’s the only way I’m going to print final pieces. I’m adhering them with what I happen to have available: Elmer’s Washable Gel School Glue Stick. Adhere’s nicely. Can be peeled off easily (okay, it’s only had a couple of days to adhere - I don’t know how it sets up over a long, long time) and the residue wiped off easily and cleanly.

I don’t have it available at the moment, but another glue stick to use (but harder to find) is 3M Post-It glue stick. Yup, the same low-tack stuff of the yellow-pad fame perfect for those that want to be able to recover their original shield. I Brassoed off the shield design, personally, so I could get to a neutral gray.

Thanks much! Glad you liked what I’ve done. I did the same as you when I first did stickers, using a glue stick. My only beef with them is that the glue doesn’ last very long and after a while the stickers start peeling or just pop right off. Of course, it doesn’t damage the fig at all, I can atest to that. Then again, it could be that the glue stick I used wasn’t a very potent one.

Anyway, thanks for the info, and thanks for the reply!
