Figure Supplies

  • Jedi Duel Qui-Gon Jinn
    - (Arms)

    - (Everything else!)
  • Naboo Qui-Gon Jinn
    - (Everything else!)

Supplies and Tools

  • Paints:
    -Dark brown
    -Burnt Siena
  • Small paintbrush
  • Plastic gloves (optional)
  • Sculpey (optional)

Step 1

Remove the robes from the Naboo jedi figures. (Kinky!)

Step 2

Using the "boil and pop" method, remove the arms from all four figures at the shoulder joints.

Step 3

Attach the arms from the Jedi Duel figures to their respective Naboo counterparts. They should fit pretty well.

Step 4

Put the robes back on the Naboo figures. At this point, you will have Naboo jedi that can hold their lightsabers with both hands. At first, I considered just painting the arms the way they were to match the robes, but to me the sleeves being that much smaller than the robed arms' sleeves didn't look right to me...so...

Step 5

Using the Sculpey, sculpt the drooping robe sleeves of both of the arms. I did mine so as to appear as if they are hanging down while the arms are in an "en garde" position. You can use the plastic gloves to leaving fingerprints on the clay.

Step 6

Once you've achieved the desired sculpt, hold the figure in boiling water just enough to boil the arm only for about 5 minutes. Give it about 15 minutes to dry after this.

Step 7

Paint the Sculpey to match the robes. For both figures, it took a bit of mixing the two paints to match, but after a couple of coats it should look pretty good. You may have to touch up the joints a bit after you first move them.
