Since I dont want to pull my figure apart, I decided to make a hole in the chair instead.

Here you can see Mace standing 1 inch at the bottom of the chair.

First up, Is to make the back of the robe. I am doing this because the robe will be open in the front and we will see through to the back.

Just take a small piece of Super Sculpey and fold it over the chair. Use your tools to make folds.

This is a little harder then I thought it would be. practice and you will eventually get the hang of it.

Next I put fake legs so that the top of the robe falls proporly. I could have used the legs of a spare jedi but I didn't have one with me at this time.

The inner shirt wrap will be seen under the main robe so I started with the right leg. Just a small piece of Super Sculpey over the knee and put some folds.

More Super Sculpey goes over the last shape to give the illusion of overlapping.

Now I can make the front part of the robe. Flatten some Super Sculpey like pizza dough and apply small pieces from the waist over the entire leg.

I let the feet pole through to make it look more real. When you are happy, use a hair dryer to harden the Super Sculpey .

Now it's time to attach the legs to the body. At first I thought I would only do a small joining at the waist but then I thought..."I will never sell this figure, so why not go all the way".

So I added a piece of Super Sculpey all the way to the upper body and made a tiny belt.

Here you can better see how I made the sculpey form to the chair, leaving no gap. This strengthens the figure and also makes it look cleaner.

Here youo can see the added piece of Super Sculpey on the left side. Slightly covering the belt but mostly in a shape that looks natural for an opened robe.

Here is an angle view of the top robes.
