Rex,
The Yoda construction is a bit tricky. But I can try and take you through it.
1: get an Obi-Wan minfig from a Landspeeder and remover the arms
2: add Green arms and hands
3: get 2 1x1 GREEN tiles with clips and remove 1 of the clips.
4: glue the clips to the bottom of the fig so the remaining clip is attached
to the front of the torso.
5: get a minfig head (old style wioth sold stud works best) and cut the stud
off.
6: using a modeling clay (milliputt or any other modeling clay that dosent
require baking or heating to harden) sculpt a pair of ears onto the side of
the head
This part is the hardest. I sugest you get some pictures and study Yoda's
ears closely before attempting this step)
7: When the ears have set. Paint the head green (try to get it as clost to
TLG's green as possible)
8: Paint facial detail ont the head (old or young you choose which I opted for
the Old versionfrom the classic trilogy)
9: Add a cape from a Qui-Gon fig and the head to the torso (the cape may need
trimming slightly)
10 Give your Yoad a Light sabre, Snake from the Adventures series or a Dark
Grey 4x1 bar (walking stick)
OPTIONAL
11: Brag about your wonderful Yoda fig to all your freinds
12: Tell your wife - then cry hysterically when she steals it :(
At present I don't have any pics (my father has my digicam) But i will be
ading some to my site as soon as i get it back

Hope this helps.
Now I'm going to go kill my wife and get my Yoda back!
