Directions
Part used for Standro Jcir
Boil-and-pop to remove Greedo's head, and cut off his hands above the wrists (I kept 7 ridges on his left hand and 4 ridges on his right hand, since the ridges aren't the same size). However, cut higher up to start with and you can always trim more off as you measure.
Shave off most of the base at the end of Greedo's neck (not all of it though). Shave in a tapered fashion, so it will be easier to put into Luke's torso. Now cutt off the ball for Luke's neck, just above the collar. Carve out the neck hole so it is a little bigger. Dip Luke's torso into hot water and work Greedo's head in. Using twisting motions, you should be able to eventually get it in there snugly, but still retain articulation.
Remove Luke's hands, and then cut off the pegs left on the forearms. Glue Greedo's hands to Luke's arms, making sure to position them carefully. Also, the paper clip rebar trick may not work this close to the ball joint of the elbow, so be careful.
Paint the wrist cuffs (the wrist portions left over from Greedo) gloss black, and seal. That's it - no other painting required!
