I've been wanting to make this figure for quite some time now. Finally got around to it.... I used ML Rogue upper and lower body, head and lower legs from ML whatever her name is from the Dr Strange wave, and the arms/hands are from ML Mockingbird. Removed the hair and fixed the head with Aves. I also used Aves for the seams on her jumpsuit. She's got magnet in her feet to keep planted on her metal stand. The dress was made from some fabric I had. The Belt was made from a piece of leather, a button, a couple of magnets, and some little rings. For the lightsabers, I used plastic tube, some magnets, and sculpted the rest. The bottom of the hilts have magnets so they can be joined together. It's certainly not perfect and I'm actually making another one using a different body. Hopefully I can correct some of the mistakes I made on this one. Thanks for looking and enjoy!  Please wait... |

I believe before I added the dress I glued, just below her waist, a piece of 1/2" black elastic, to serve as a connection point for the dress. I didn't want the dress fabric attached directly to the figure. This also creates another barrier between any glue you use and any moving parts.
FYI, I think I made about 3 or 4 dresses before I got it looking, IMO, right. I think I cut out an 8" or 9" square of fabric. Made a relatively small hole in the center of it, about the size of a pencil. I rounded the edges of the dress and made a small slits near the hole I made in the center. I slid the dress up the figure, feet first, slowly making the hole bigger. Once it was in place, right below the swivel point of the upper and lower torso, I glued it in place. Don't use to much glue other wise you risk loosing the ability of her to turn her torso. I cut another small strip of fabric and wrapped it around the top of the dress to hide that part where it was glued. I used a few stitches to secure this strip. The belt was one single piece of leather that I cut. You'll make several of these too, this was a real pain in the ass. The buckle in the front of her belt is just a button that I removed some of the inside part. Run the leather through the buckle and then glued the ends in place, in the back. I used the tops of straight pins to make it look like thats how its connected to the back part of the belt. I leave a little on the end of the pin so it can pierce the leather and be glued in place. Pretty much did the same thing with the little rings you see hanging off the belt. I glued and painted some neodymium magnets on the belts to hold the lightsaber hilts. The last thing I did was add the slits on both sides of her dress.
Thats really about it. There's a whole lot of trial and error for me when making the soft goods. Hope that helps.
