Directions
This one is just a straight repaint of the original figure. You can use either the ROTS or the Saga2 figure, because the 7th Sky Corps Clone has the exact same pattern markings on the armor as the Utapaun Clone, just in green instead of orange.

The Saga2 figure already has the pattern laid out in orange, so that part is easier if you choose to use that figure. But if you go that route, you may have to do several coats to cover up the orange and make sure none of it is peeking around the edges. Some of it can be scraped off with a sharp X-acto knife. You can also use that trick to scrape off your green paint to correct minor errors if you didn’t keep your lines exactly straight.

If you go the ROTS figure route, you won’t have to worry about covering up the orange, but you will have to freehand the pattern on the armor.
