Hello everyone,
after getting more active in the LEGO community again, I decided to update my SigFig, which is no longer up to date.
In the hope of future trading, I immediately ordered some of the parts from Bricklink, but I wanted to add something special to personalize the whole thing. LEGO is now quite strict when it comes to printing minifigures. So I had to come up with something else. That's when the empty pod of the Tiger-Tuxedo Batman figure came to mind, which I had been lying around for a while. These pods offer some surfaces that are perfect for your own stickers.
With this idea in mind, I started looking for more such containers. With a lot of luck, I found a larger quantity of them on Bricklink, and so I decided to implement the concept:
I printed and cut the stickers myself to save money. To ensure that they are durable and robust, I used waterproof outdoor labels. I used a circle cutter to cut them out, so that the end product would look as high-quality as possible.
Update:
I was able to get my hands on a larger quantity of the chrome-plated Darth Vader pods. Find out more in this post.
The previously stickered 2x4 tiles are now printed thanks to Brickhunter.
