SW Legion 212th Recon Division
I always loved the iconic look and colour scheme of the clone troopers of the 212th Recon Division and wanted to use them in my games of SW Legion.
Recently I stumbled upon Darkfire Designs and their Gumroad page
https://gumroad.com/darkfiredesigns
where they sell STL files (also presupported) for a large variety of Legion minis. So I started my freshly bought Photon S and gave it a shot.
The bases were also printed and I used the one from AirborneElmo on thingiverse, which I think are the best designed amongst all the legion bases:
