Step 1

Take Mr. Mace and cut off his head under the chin.

Step 2

For my figure, I removed Han's hands and replaced them with Mace's. That was before I decided to repaint Mace's skin a darker brown, in which case, I could have left Han's hands and just repainted them. As it is, I cut off Mace's hands at the wrist. I pulled Han's hands out of the sockets. I trimmed the hands off but left the long peg - basically, I turned the hand into a shaft. I took Mace's hands, drilled a hole into the wrist big enough to hold the shafts, and super glued the shafts into them. It made them more sturdy than just a flush glue job. Again, if I did it over, I'd just repaint the Han's hands. (I DO love saying that.)

Step 3

This part you have to be excruciatingly cautious with: Remove Han's head, and drill a hole in the bottom of Mace's head large enough to fit over the ball stump. It CAN be done, but if you don't take it slow, you'll drill through his face from the inside. Try to point the Dremel bit towards the back of the head to "save face." Use a round ball tip - a small one - and work on making the hole bigger a little at a time. I keep the screamin' head on mine, but by not gluing the head, you COULD also make a second "normal" Mace head and have a variant figure.

Step 4

Paint head, neck and hands a darker brown, not touching the teeth and inside of mouth. Paint on a moustache and eyebrows in black.

Step 5

Use the putty to build up his chest. Han's a scrawny chap. I also added putty around his wrists and over the tops of his boots. I smoothed them out to create the appearance of a long-sleeved shirt and long pants with low profile shoes. I left the shoes glossy black. In the movie, Mr. Jackson actually wears a short-sleeved black shirt, but I didn't know that until my figure was made. If you used heat-setting clay, stick him in a cup of very hot water for a few minutes. (None of the clay is very think so it will harden quickly). If you use epoxy clay, just let him harden a couple of hours, or overnight.

Step 6

Paint the shirt black, then paint a white ring around the neck at the top of the shirt. Paint the pants a royal blue or indigo like NEW denim jeans - not faded denims.

Step 7

I intended on using Yoda's snake, but mine's in storage. I ended up just rolling out a snake with the putty, and wrapping him around my X-acto knife to give him a curve. Flatten the head into a diamond shape, mix the white and brown for a lighter brown, and decorate with snakelike markings.

Step 8

I took VOTC Endor Han's coat and colored it black with a permanent marker. Afraid that the marker might come off onto other figures, I hit the outside of it with a shot of flat black spray paint. The jacket is supposed to be leather, so you can try to brush on or spray on a gloss black, or substitute another jacket option.

Step 9

Jackson's coat is waist length. Han's is a lot longer, but it has a slit that goes up from the bottom to the waist. I placed the coat on the counter with the inside facing up. I ran a line of hot glue from one side to the other at the mark where the slit stopped. I quickly folded up the bottom part of the coat and pressed it down hard, so the glue was in the crease of the fold. Once cool, I cut off the bottom flap of the coat, leaving me with a short coat "hemmed" with hot glue instead of thread. Sewing machine's in storage too. With the snake.

Step 10

EXTRA - I took a small square of white plastic that was a divider of a storage case in a former life. I downloaded the SNAP poster and reduced it to fit on the square. I printed it out on a glossy CD label (it was all I had - tough to get it to fit just right). I used my knife to cut around the plane, then peeled the plane off the paper backing. I stuck it onto the plastic square. Last, I sprayed it with a flat sealer so the sticker wouldn't peel up at the edges. I intend on drilling a hole and putting a peg so it works like a real stand, but I haven't done that yet.
