Parts: Head (Slave Leia), Torso (Lyn Me), Arms (Power F/X X-Wing Luke Skywalker), Legs (Lyn Me), Blaster (any).
Supplies: Super glue, Super Sculpey, file or emery board, brushes, Testors paints and Testors Dull-Cote.
Reference: None. This character is entirely fan-fic.
Step One: I assembled the necessary parts using the boiling water method and allowed the figure to cool completely.
Step Two: Next, I sculpted the flightsuit using Super Sculpey and cured using boiling water.
Step Three: I also used Super Sculpey to give her a long ponytail. I simply added to the existing braid and cured.
Step Four: The arms needed a bit of work with the Dremel so that they fit correctly with her shoulders.
Step Five: I sanded the figure to remove any rough spots.
Step Six: I painted the figure, as desired, and allowed it to dry completely.
Step Seven: Next I applied a light coat of Testors Dull-Cote and allowed it to dry.
Step Eight: I applied a dark wash to the flightsuit to provide a "worn" look. After the wash had dried, I applied another light coat of Dull-Cote to seal the paint and reduce the shine.
