Parts: Head (POTJ Tusken Raider), Torso (Naboo Qui-Gon Jinn), Arms (POTJ Tusken Raider), Legs (Ponda Baba), Boots (Tatooine Luke Skywalker), Braid (Slave Leia), Lightsaber (any).
Supplies: X-acto knife, super glue, Testors Dull-Cote, Paints and Brushes.
Reference: Pictures from Dark Horse's Star Wars: Outlander comics.
Step One: I assembled the necessary parts using the boiling water method and then allowed them to cool completely.
Step Two: Then I cut off the Ponda Baba boots and replaced them with the Luke boots.
Step Three: I trimmed the braid so that it fit well on the back of the figure's head, and then super glued it in place.
Step Four: Using the X-acto knife, I carefully cut away the side bits of tunic from below the belt, leaving the middle parts in place. I also found a piece of Zuckuss' breathing cannister in my parts box and glued it to the figure's waist to cover the hole intended for the lightsaber hilt.
Step Five: I painted the figure according to my reference picture.
Step Six: Finally, I applied a coat of Testors Dull-Cote to protect the paint and remove the shiny appearance.
