Parts: Head (Padme Naberrie), Torso (Princess Leia Organa from the R2-D2 & Leia 2-pack), Arms (Princess Leia Organa from the R2-D2 & Leia 2-pack), Legs (Princess Leia Organa from the R2-D2 & Leia 2-pack).
Supplies: Super Sculpey, emery board, file, brushes, Testors paints and Testors Dull-Cote.
Reference: Pictures from The Star Wars Essential Guide to Characters and stills from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
Step One: I removed the soft-goods clothing from the Leia figure.
Step Two: Then I replaced the Leia head with the Padme head.
Step Three: Using the X-acto knife and file, I modified the hair and cheekbones enough that it did not look exactly like Padme anymore.
Step Four: Using Super Sculpey, I filled in the waistline where the Leia belt was. A little bit of sanding was necessary, to make the waistline smooth.
Step Five: Then I painted the figure according to the references and allowed it to dry completely.
Step Six: Finally, I applied a coating of Testor's Dull-Cote to protect the paint and reduce the shiny appearance.
