Step 1

Switch Padme and Leia's heads using the boil-and-pop method. Cut Leia's skirt off.

Step 2
Use an x-acto knife to shave the detailing off of Leia's torso, and to thin down her arms.

Step 3
Use a dremel to shave down Padme's waist to give her the "20 inch waist" look.

Step 4
Sculpt Padme's skirt onto the figure. It should be somewhat figure hugging (no pun intended) and should have a train in the back. Bake the figure.

Step 5
Sculpt the neckpiece onto the figure. It should stop where the skirt starts to fan out.

Step 6
Sculpt the hair onto the figure. (the headband will be added later.) It should be a braid that has twists coming from behind each ear to loop around the back. Bake the figure.

Step 7
Paint Padme's hair brown and use silver paint for the headbands on her forehead.
Next, cover the skirt with light grey paint. Let dry. Paint Padme's gloves and corset black and her shoulders flesh. Paint the neckpiece black.

Step 8
Dip your brush into black paint, and dab it over the grey on the skirt. This should produce a lace-like effect. Finish painting the skirt in the same way.

Step 9
Use a translucent white paint to simulate the beading on Padme's
neckpiece.
