Step 1
Remove and put
all the main body parts together from the various figures via the
Boil'n'Pop technique, i.e. dunk them in boiling water. Some pieces
like the arms will need a little trimming to get the join angles right.
Step 2
Once you've got
the arms in the right place, remove them again, and keep them separate.
Step 3
Trim the hair
of Leia's head using a knife and/or sandpaper/file.
Step 4
Trim the bangles
on Leia's arms so that they resemble Aurra's strips of cloth.
Step 5
Trim the gold
broach off Rystall's chest using a knife and/or sandpaper/file.
Step 6
Cut the lower
legs off Rystall and replace them with Han's boots. Make sure you
measure all this BEFORE cutting! Alternatively, you can just use Han
from the waist down, but _I_ like my female figures to look FEMALE!
Step 7
Put the holster
off Han and attach it to her leg.
Step 8
Get another holster
from somewhere (like a Jawa) or mold it with putty.
Step 9
Mold belts out
of putty or steal from Jawa's, Han, etc.
Step 10
Mold hair out
of putty or steal it from the Weequay you should have left over after
doing my Diva Shaliqua custom. :) (*optional)
Step 11
Heat up a little
piece of a pin in a flame til it's red-hot, and plunge it into her
head to create the sensor. Clean up any little bits of excess plastic.
Paint the sensor silver. (*optional)
Step 12
Mold or glue
little gadgets to her vest. (*optional)
Step 13
Mold extra length
to her fingers.
Step 14
Paint her vest
brown.
Step 15
Paint all the
skin areas (except the arms) a light grey (NOT white).
Step 16
Paint her bodysuit
a nice orange/red.
Step 17
Give her bodysuit
a dry-brush of brown to dirty it up.
Step 18
Paint her vest,
boots, belts, etc. and vest, brown.
Step 19
Attach her arms
and vest by slotting the heated-up arms through the vest into the
torso sockets.
Step 20
Paint her arms
and cloth strips.
Step 21
Give all her
leather work a wash of darker brown to bring out the depth.
Step 22
Paint in her
dark eye sockets and lips with a wash of dark grey.
