Thanks Greg - I guess they turned out ok. I have lots of cups/glasses that they are already drinking in the cantina.
Since these are kind of rare for me in making non-fan fic stuff, here's how I made them.
Parts used -
head - SAGA Padme Pilot
body - POTF2 ANH Princess Leia Collection 2-pk w/ R2D2
( 1 ) Remove the heads and hair from the Padme figures - the hair pops right off just like an arm or a leg.
( 2 ) Remove the heads off of the Leia figures.
( 3 ) Paint both Leia figures - first the entire figure (except the hand) with three thin layers of black, then seal it with matte spray - light coat of spray.
( 4 ) After drying, apply two coats of the base color (green or blue) then add the black details - seal/spray two times.
( 5 ) Glue the belt in place - it's loose and sags if you don't glue it.
( 6 ) Paint the dots on the belt.
( 7 ) Spray one more time, very light coat.
( 8 ) Take the heads - drill a small hole in the top of them.
( 9 ) Cut off a piece of a lightsaber - glue into the hole in the top of the head - this is your base for the hair.
( 10 ) Using black thread, wind it around your finger about 15-20 times. Glue one side of it w/ super glue.
( 11 ) Cut one side of the band of string - then you have one solid section of hair.
( 12 ) Superglue it to the head.
( 13 ) Repeat steps 10-12 as desired.
( 14 ) Using a thicker thread, use a lighter and burn the ends off of it (to keep it from fraying) - use about a 2 inch piece of thick thread.
( 15 ) Wind it up in a spiral around the lightsaber sticking out of her head and superglue it.
( 16 ) Wind the thin thread around it some to blend in with the thinner hair strands.
( 17 ) Use black paint to cover up any glue spots.
( 18 ) Spray one more time.
They took a while, but I guess it was worth it. I think the more I have the figures, the better I'll like them. Usually I'm used to making more fan fiction characters that don't have a specific look everyone is expecting, so maybe that's why I'm a little embarassed about these.
