Let's start by boiling Yoda for 30 seconds to facilitate his amputation :)

The peg in the feet is attached at both ends, so you need to use scissors or an Xacto kinfe to cut one end of the peg in order to put the legs off the torso.

I took a ball of Super Sculpey and placed it in the center of the chair. This will act as an anchor for the torso but also the back of the jedi Robe.

Start with flattening the ball by pressing it against the chair.

Then I used my tools to make folds in the same fashion as all the other Jedi Robes.

For the feet, I rolled 2 tiny balls of Super Sculpey the size of Yoda's hands.

Cut 2 slits into the balls to make Yoda's toes.

After about 10 minutes, You can see what his foot looks like on the left. All that's needed now is to repeat same technique for the other ball.

I added more Super Sculpey to form the leg and bent it at the knee.

Here you can see how the legs are placed in a criss cross position.

If you are using these pics as a guide to make your own sitting Yoda, please notice that I mistakenly positioned Yoda's left foot upside down.

To see what is should like, look at picture 016 on page 2.

Next I cut out a small oval shape and placed it on Yoda's lap. This will become the cloth that is inside the Robe or a continuation of the dark brown shirt.
