Let's start with a copy of Chair B and our friend
Saesee Tiin. As you see I removed his Jedi Robe to
facilitate the sculpting. Hasbro did quite a nice
job detailing and painting the figure which is weird
since we cannot see under the robe unless you cut
it off. |

This is what he looks like sitting. Not bad but would
help if his knees had articulation! |

So let's chop them off at the kneecaps. Don't worry
Jedi have high pain tolerance :) |

To make a nice shape for under the robe, I placed
the boots on floor level. You can see on the right
leg, the gap that is formed from the cut. just use
some Sculpey and fill the hole like you see I did
on the left leg. Doesn't have to be perfect, the robe
will hide it. |

Here is a better view from the front of what the
Sculpey looks like when shaped into a kneecap. |

Now I have filled the gaps on both legs. Use the
Heat gun to harden the Sculpey and the are ready to
start working on the jedi Robe. |

Flatten some Super Sculpey like Pie Dough and cut
out in a rectangular shape with o cut in the center
so that the sides of the hips will be covered when
folded over. |

Now use your wooden tools to create folds in the
Super Sculpey. Remember you can always add and remove
Sculpey until you get shapes that you find interesting.
The folds above took me about 1 hour to make. |

This is what the Robe looks like from behind. Pretty
messy eh? :) Don't worry about it. We will never see
this so you can leave it as it is. |

Well the wise people at Hasbro decided to put elbow
articulation on the right arm only. So since we don't
want our jedi to look weird, I cut the left arm off
at the same hight as the left cut. |
