Parts: Head (Ewok Celebration Leia), Torso (Ewok Celebration Leia), Arms (Ewok Celebration Leia), Legs (COMMTech Luke Skywalker), Blaster (your choice).
Supplies: X-acto knife, Super Sculpey, emery board, file, paintbrushes, Testors paints and Testors Dull-Cote.
Reference: Numerous pictures can be found in the Dark Forces graphic novels by Dark Horse or you can use still photos from the PC game.
Step One: First, I assembled the necessary parts using the boil-n-pop method and then allowed the figure to cool completely.
Step Two: Using the X-acto knife and file, I modified the hair and cheekbones enough that it did not look exactly like Leia anymore. I made the pony-tail from Super Sculpey.
Step Three: Next, I added the utility belt items, a pistol holster and various pouches. You can make them from Super Sculpey, or you can take them from other figures in your parts box.
Step Four: I painted the figure according to my references.
Step Five: Finally, I applied a coat of Testors Dull-Cote to seal the paint and reduce the shine.
