Since my figure will not be played with, I don't
care if the arm won't turn. I just used Hot Glue Gun
and attached the forearm to the arm with a slight
rotation to the left. |

I decided to hide the cut with Super Sculpey. Just
stick some in the groove and smooth it out.
Be very carefull when you heat the Sculpey if you
used Hot Glue. The heat from the Gun will soften the
hardened glue and might cause the arm to fall off. |

Now that we have done Hasbro's job :) We can move
on to the top part of the robes. Cut out 2 mirrored
pieces of Super Sculpey in the shape you see above.
Kinda like a vest. |

Start with one side and go all the way up the shoulder
and add fold details. |

Here you can see how the piece was tucked into the
side beneath the arm. Make sure to blend the edges
into the figures plastic or you will be able to see
the added Sculpey. |

Once the left side was Heat Dried, I started working
on the right part of the top robe. |

Once you are happy with the final sculpting, harden
the Super Sculpey with your Heat Gun. |

Now we are ready to paint. Again I used the same
water based Acrylic colors that worked so well on
mace and the other Jedi's.
I repainted the arms so that the robe was the same
color from top to bottom.
The Hasbro robe color is more greenish but looking
at the vhs and reference pics, |
|
 |
all jedi's robes
are the same dark brown. So this color is more accurate. |
