So Probably like most of the people here, I have been doomed by worn sigils on hiss drivers, copperheads, and cobra officers! I figured instead of spending a whole lotta money on new officers and hiss drivers I would figure out how to print my own sigils! This is what I came up with! Sorry the video was specially made or rambo so its in spanish! All I say is this time in spanish for rambo, I flood my screen so when I give the screen a pass with the squeege the sigil sticks well! I hope I dont drop my phone! I print it and bam! Looks good! for those that do know spanish yeah i left the badwords out! Lol I know the ink is a little different as well as the logos! just enough so I dont get blamed or used for fraud! I dont ever want someone to buy a fig thinking it was an original and finding out it was one of my prints! thats would suck!

Most ppl I know would rather get a sticker from cobrastickers.com
The first cobra trooper had the silver sigil so we used nail polish remover to take that off and put a shiny new red one on them courtesy of them.

Sounds cool! but I don't do stickers like that! I would rather have the real deal! stickers end up peeling and can damage the figure in the long run do to the adhesives used! to me they dont look good in pictures either! To each there own though! I'll stick with my printed sigils! :)

Seems like an incredible feat to me! I was dabbling with similar ideas and learned just enough to think it was next to impossible.

Since the video is set to private no one else can see what you are talking about.
Are you printing the sigil on the cobra torso itself or what exactly are you talking about?
Explain please.

OK I seen a pic after a little digging.
That does look good.
Good work.

has anyone ever considered using actual decals in the past i found the plastic on cobra troopers to take to solva-set and decals rather well and if you know what you are doing you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference.
