Your hera turned out great. I did one myself a while back but i like how you added the peg and hole so that the blaster would fit. Also the leash straps.
THE FORCE is strong with this one...

   Hey everybody, Just thought that I would do a follow-up post regarding the laser printed decal option for face customization... As mentioned before, it's a delicate process (decal paper can be easily torn while re-positioning). But now that I've gotten the hang of it, it will definitely be my primary method of customizing faces. And I would recommend this method to others like me who don't have the steadiest of hands and just can't place the iris dead center or get the two eyes to match :/  Just be sure to apply a nice coat of clear-coat over the decals if you "play" with your toys with your kids or you frequently toss them into a bin, because the decals WILL rub off easily if left unprotected :(

Wow that Jyn looks fantastic. That Ahsoka looks really good to me too. So cool to have other options. Off to share your update.

Okay guys, progress update:

  Didn't want to waste 65 cents on just one set of experimental eyes, so I whipped up some other eyes for a handful of other figures. I seems that the laser printer at Kinkos did a pretty decent job of it. Can't really tell (until I get it home and under a florecent light) but it looks like it actually printed in white for the inside and "shine" of the eyes. I just assumed that it would leave those spaces "clear" and that I would have to pre-paint the eye-whites in place before placing the decals. We'll see, I might still have to...
   I eyeballed the scale (see what I did there?) so these might still be a tad too large (fingers crossed). And because this was such a quick project with no real planning, I didn't really consider plastic skin tone vs. decal skintone. So some of these might very well make some 4" raccoons. I'm sure some thin layers of well placed paint could remedy the issue (hope). I'll be sure to follow up with the failures, and possible successes when I have results.

I like this technique.
I don't stink at painting eyes, but it's freaking nerve racking. 
I never thought of using Kinko's.

  Thanks for the compliments Tamer :)  But I don't think I could except any money from any of you guys. Especially considering how much joy I've garnered from this site and its members. If anything I'll fill an entire page with labeled eyes/eyebrows, maybe in multiples of four or six (in case of F-ups...) and post the hi-res image on an all new post so anyone interested could just grab the image from the site and just run it off to a printer.

Now that is one of the best ideas I have heard in awhile. Thank you for offering this to the Yarders!

Looks realistic, a different technique from painting face details
