I decided to use the Mace with Jedi Robe from Episode 1 since he looks SO much better then any of the Mace's released with POOPOO Action Features. I simply chopped off his arms and knees as well as remove the back side of the lower Inner Robe

Here poor Mace is sitting at the mercy of Niubniub. :)

I was nice enough to use my Hot Glue Gun and attach his Lower Legs at the knees. :)

Next step is to fill the cracks with Super Sculpy and use your Hair Dryer to harden the Sculpy in place. This will prevent any mishaps while you handle the figure and also reinforces the Knees. Remember they are still very fragile so hold him gently.

I decided to custom Mace based on the movie pose where his hands are together. What better hands to do this then palpatine's ? I don't need the long sleeves, so I cut those off as well as a little chop chop at the shoulders. Remember to always be carefull when cutting plastic with your Xacto blades.

Since the arms are not quite long enough to reach the movie pose, I attached them a little lower with my hot Glue gun. It looks silly but won't show once the Robe is added on top.

Let's start by flatening some Super Sculpey like a pie crust. I then cut out 2 long strips for the Torso and 2 smaller pieces to drape over the thighs.

Carefully place the Super Sculpy over the figures Thighs and Shoulders.

Now get your tools out and start adding details. Use any Jedi figure with a Robe to help figure out where to place the folds.

Here is what the Robe looks like so far.

I sculpted the folds while Mace was sitting in the chair so that it flows to the chairs countours as well as Mace's body.

Time to make more Pie Crust :D

Use a roller to smooth out your Super Sculpey...

... and cut out 4 little rectangle shapes. These will be for the Sleeves.

December 31, 2002

Fold the first rectangle over the Forearms of the Mace figure.

Make sure that it reaches all the way under the arm so that you don't have a hole.

Next drape the 2 other rectangle pieces over the Biceps of the mace figure.

It doesn't matter if the pieces don't reach all the way to his back. you can add those pieces after.

Now use a Jedi figure to help you sculpt some folds and blend all the pieces together.

We are almost finished :)

Now don't forget to use your hair Dryer to harden the Super Sculpey. about 1 minute is plenty.

Now this is an easy part. Cut a rectangle from your rolled out Super Sculpey...
