    Thank you ... it is only a cheap set though so cant really complain about the quality for the money, i only got it to mess with and looks like i will have a titan class Superion at the end of it :cool: 

    Thanks man, big fan of your work you have made some great custom figures :thumb

    Awesome... looking good :) 

    No... the joints are compression joints. They are meant to be turned. The problem is tolerances. I don't sand the corners. I sanded the flat part to make the entire hexagon just a bit smaller (hence the sand a bit and test, rinse/repeat). It's still hard to turn, and is stronger than any ratchet, frankly. The downside is you only really get six rotation points. Just to make sure we're on the same page... i'm referring to the combiner ports on Silverbolt

    But seriously, if you're worried about it not being able to hold up his arm... don't be. Your ball joints on the hips are going to give way before the shoulder joint.

    Looking great so far. Love the weathering on Slingshot. Do you have any plans for the Blast-off?

    After I finished MP Menasor I needed a break to recharge my batteries. This hobby can be mentally and physically taxing. Not to mention financially as well.
