[Geil]

nice job. But why didn't you mod the neck socket at the same time to reduce his neck height? well you can still do it

 

[butters149]

the original neck is ok so far, i might do it later on

 

[Eamon]

This great man! Well done!

 

[butters149]

i wish i found a better way t odo it but kind of lazy.

now for my next trick, going to try to make the battle damaged helmet light up using fiber optics.

 

[drjedisith]

that looks great BUTTERS!

i love this guy but the long neck look was killing it for me. so i cut out the back of the head and left the face. now im happy

 

[Calcifer]

Butter149, nice neck mods. Did you follow toyhunters intruction or make your own mods?

 

[drjedisith]

i see we were both busy with that one today how did you do yours?

 

[bandito]

That sounds like an interesting mod ..how would do that then?

Shoulder Armour Mod.

Increase the height of the shoulder armour attachment by about 5mm. The shoulder armour no longer gets in the way in almost all positions.

Pry the glued shoulder armour off, insert something in between to raise up the height.

or do what I did,

angle up the armour by 5mm near the shoulder socket end, and super-glue and epoxy resin bind/fill the armour at that raised position.

Before: Problem, Red circle, armour in the way when you bring the arms close.

After (Left: Arms closest to the body, shoulder ball socket at the highest position... Right: Ball socket at the lowest position)

Abs side bending mod.

In progress, Increase from about 5 degrees range to 10 ... hope to get it to 15 or 20 (or allow perceivable/significant body bending)
