This is another Neca figure I have got as a Christmas present for my son.
He already has this Kessler wolf, but wasn't keen on the joints in the legs.
I noticed these are pretty cheap now, so I got another one to modify.
I stated off by posing the wolf on a flat board, making sure it's 4 feet were flat on the ground. I then used a full tube of super glue on all the joints. It ended up with a good solid feel to it, like a statue. Only the head and mid body are left with articulation.
I used automotive body filler (or bondo in the US) to fill in the joints and sculpted the fur into the filler.
For the paint, I decanted some Tamiya brown and black spray paint, mixed them to different shades to match the figure and painted the filler, before clear coating with Tamiya flat clear spray to seal it.
Here are some comparison photos with the unaltered figure.
Unfortunately I deleted the photos I took of the overall finished figure and this wolf is boxed and wrapped up now. I will try to remember to post some pics after Christmas.
