UPDATE: Sniper (with group)

Keep in mind that this is only one method, obviously. You can use factory rockers, or smaller elbows from Joe and MU. and of course, go the route of using a revoltech style joint. The only reason I used the hands, is because I picked sets that I didn't like to begin with. I'll never use them...

Tell me what you guys consider to be the best available parts for a standardized uniform. Obviously we will have potential new parts next year, but let's stick to right now.

Hip joints are from the Amazon Ren SS, modded to fit the 30th SS lower torso. Ret SS upper legs modded to work with hips. Ren SS feet modded for rocker action.

To see such a beautiful custom fig with that eyesore... makes me cringe.

From my experience so far, since I've done several this way... no pinning is required. It really comes down to how you shape the new ankle to fit whatever lower you're using. As long as the new ankle part will fit into the lower "lip" just enough, it should hold. As for gluing - I placed a...

Btw... this was all done within 30 min. I did have to take the pics after all. :)

Ok guys, here we go! I'll be demonstrating with the coveted ST , but this can be applied to any figure. Start by removing the stock feet - Using a blade, carefully cut the joint from the foot - Now use your dremel to define the new slot - Which should leave you with something like this...

Thanks. Top it? Don't tempt me... 'cause there's more that I could do actually.

That would be a cool pic, no doubt. I'll bring him along for playtime.

Thanks, Med. Put 2 additional pose pics in the first.

Blame the sculpt for the MU shoulder balls. They don't have to be spherical. As for natural, your arm doesn't twist from the elbow to begin with. It's more of an aesthetics thing for most toys.

I agree 100%. Swivel bicep and double elbows.

The swivel in the upper leg/hip takes care of the natural turning ability. And yes... ape arms are not attractive.

Only ones I won't use, I promise!

It's really easy though. Takes me about 20 min to make a set. I'll be trying it on some combat boots soon enough. Much needed all-around, imo.

True, but you have to create the foot "slot", and add the swivel joint to the lower leg. For this guy, I used Retaliation SS hands for the new ankle parts.

Yes Sir. Here's a couple more shots -

Thanks, Eddie! If only I had factory Resolute rocker feet, so I wouldn't have to make my own! Although... it's easy to do at least.

LOL!!! I thought the same thing.
