Step 1
Boil all three
Luke figures apart. Set aside Flashback Luke's arms and skirt, Commtech
Luke's torso, legs, and head, and set aside original Luke's head,
and arms.
Step 2
Cut the pegs
off Flashback Luke's arms, because they won't fit in the Commtech
Luke's torso. If Commtech Luke's head peg was damaged, then cut off
that peg too.
Step 3
Cut the pegs off
the arms, and possibly the head off the Original Luke.
Step 4
Grind the heads
off the screws (I used screws from a small hinge package)
until they are about half a centimeter long. Drill holes that
match the diameter of the screws into arms, head, and matching pegs.
Step 5
Dab some superglue
into the hole in the pegs. Insert the flat, unthreaded end of the
screw into the peg. Set these aside and let them dry.
Step 6
The skirt from
the flashback Luke is too thick to fit on the Commtech's body, so
shave some plastic off the top, where no one will see it. This skirt
is used because it has the peg to attach the electro-binoculars
Step 7
Once the pegs
are dry, dab some glue into the arm/head holes, and thread them onto
the pegs.
Step 8
Fit all the pieces
in their place, and glue the figure together using the clamp to hold
them tightly in place. You're all finished, but if you want to add
that special touch, proceed to Step 9.
Step 9
Take the original
Luke head, and using scupley, make it look like his hair is starching,
fit the top of the hair to Ultimate Luke's hand, so he can hold the
severed head. On the pegless neck, sculpt what looks like a bit of
skin, and a bit of spine sticking through it. Boil the head to cure
the sculpey and then paint accordingly (make the spine
and neck bloody).
There now you're
all finished, and with a bit of Sticky-Tak on the inside of Ultimate
Luke's hand, he can hold the severed of head of Hasbro's favorite
character, the Original Luke Skywalker. Add a lightsaber to his other
hand to complete the awesome pose.
