Start off with plo's Chair. I pre-painted it to help
out on inside details |

Here is plo Koon standing inside the chair. I removed
the cloack because it was too bulky. I thought the
end result would look better without it underneath. |

So it's time to create some new legs for Mr Koon
:) I used Sculpey since it is ceaper and will be hidden
under the robes anyways.
As you can see, you don't need details. A plain shape
is enough for the robe to form fit itself to. |

I flatten the Super Sculpy like a pie crust and cut
out a square shape like a blanket. Then I placed it
on the legs.
On the right side you see what it looks like when
folded around the leg. On the left is what it looks
like when just placed on top of the leg.

Here is the basic shape now tucked into place with
a few dents to give the idea of where I want the folds
to fall in the robe. |

You can add extra Super Sculpey "pie crusts"
to the main robe and add more details. It is with
adding pieces that you get the best robe reults.
Do not try and make a perfect robe with only 1 piece
of Super Sculpey. It is too difficult that way. |

Now to work on the top of the robe. I cut out 2
shapes that mirror each other. They almost look like
a vest. Place one side first then the other overlaping
a little. |

When they are blended to the main robe it looks like
1 piece. |

Now I can lower the arms to make sure nothing sticks
to them and fix any folds that I am not happy with.
At this time I also blend the shoulder Sculpy with
the plastic.
Now I used my paint heat stripper gun and dried the
Super Sculpey using hot air. Don't aim at the same
spot too long or your figure will melt - NOT GOOD
- LOL |

Some acrylic paint turns your creation from hand
made to something that looks like Hasbro made :)
Make sure to put several thiiner coats of paint instead
of 1 fat blob. The result will be much better and
look more like the real figures color. |
