Leonardo,
Found this on the internet. Looks like Javi may have made one with "stickers" and a new hat ...

I've tried to buy it but seller don't ship to Brazil and don't use Paypal. 
Malone have send me a message with seller ebay shop.
Greetings

thanks for the info Leonardo!
dont you need to check out the rear of the custom klicky before you buy it? the stickers have a problem going around his shoulders so the back view might be unacceptable to some collectors

Hi friends....few days ago I answer on this thread but....??....maybe I dont make "post"....??....sorry.

We talk about the difficult to make this uniform and maybe the cheap option is to make a sticker because make a "pad print" is hard and expensive.

Casually, on this days two spanish friends works on this theme....anything relevant with me.
The solution on Ebay is from Chema....he use translucent vinyl and this is a handicap for the colours and a good apply over the bodie....also make a good job with militar ranks, belts....
The other solution is from "Flipi and Tchatorman" from Playclicks....only for pleasure, not to sell

.....on this case....I like the design of the thin strips pattern....but have not good details with belts and ranks.
Maybe a mix. of this two solutions is the best.....but....
In any case is very difficult make and apply this vinyl and cover all the bodie

thanks for explaining Malone.....the second custom is also well done....but like you said, the rounded shoulders pose a difficult challenge..
