______ CAPTAIN SISKO in NEW STARFLEET UNFORM

PARTS NEEDED:
Captain Sisko or TnT Sisko (head
FC "Target" Picard (body, legs, arms)

HOW TO:
Remove the heads and arms from both figures using the boil and pop method. Once the head and arms are removed from both figures, "pop" apart the bodies. Take the Picard arms and cut off his hands at the sleeves. Next, cut Siskos hands off about 1cm ABOVE the sleeve. Use a drill bit and drill a small hole in Picards sleeve. (Use a drill bit NO bigger than 1/8) Drill the hole no more than 1cm down. Now, cut a "peg" that will fit inside the holes you've made on Picards sleeves using Siskos hands. (This is why you need to cut his hands off about a 1cm into his arm). Make sure his hands are flush with Picards sleevs, you may have to trim some of the "peg" you just made. Once you're sure it fits, use a dab of Krazy Glue and put in in Picards sleeve hole. insert Siskos hands on the proper sides, and let it dry. (Should take about 10 seconds!) Next, insert Siskos head into Picards neck joint. Attach the arms and legs in the body and apply a small amount of Super Glue alone the inside seam of the two upper torso parts, be careful not to get any on the moving parts, and press together. IF you do happen to get glue on the joints, start rotaing them immediately! This should make the glue harded around the edges instead of the seams.

PAINTING:
Basically, theres no painting to be done for this custom. However, if you wish to paint Picards hands to match Sisko instead of cutting them off, then I suggest mixing some acrylic paints to match the color perfectly. Use the spare Sisko hands from the other figure to match the paint sceme. Be sure to do at least 2 coats.
