For my first custom I want to do something simple so i'm going to make a Darth Krayt since I never got the offical WOtC version. My plan is to cut off a hand with a red lightsaber and glue (attach) it to a Yuuzhan Vong Elite Warrior as he looks just like Krayt as a noob I need to know 3 things.
1. What should i use to cut off the hand and staff?
2. What should I use to attach the hand once removed?
3. What would work better a dark jedi masters hand or a dark side adepts hand?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any help is greatly appreciated. 1) Xacto Knife 2) Manual model drill, thin wire (I've used hanging wire), gorilla glue 3) I don't think "Obi-Wan'ing" the hand is necessary. Get some "flesh" paint for the hands.

You also might be able to just repaint the Dark Jedi Master to match Krayt's reborn look (his facial tattoos and armor color scheme.)

I use Krazy Glue and rarely pin my customs. With this method, a hand swap is more stable than glueing a lightsaber.

With all respect to markedman pinning is not the way I would go for a simple thing such as a light saber swap. Way to complicated. You need superglue. Now for this you need to splurge, get the 5$ cannister of locktite gel at michales, 2$ if you have a coupon, that is the far superior glue. If you get .99$ stuff from wal mart then you get this nasty white residue and its SUPER messy.

when I click on where the photo should be it leads to a dead facebook link. Are you linking directly to the image itself in the img brackets or the facebook page?

It needs to be a link that links directly to the image, not a Facebook page that contains the image. If you BM or post the link again I can help you out there/be a little more specific (it is a bit hard to describe as there are a few ways to do it depending on the OS you are using)
