Let's start off with an easy mod for his hands. Out of the box, his fingers are as one. The hand opens and closes, but the ring, middle and index fingers are the same piece of plastic
Use the technique as seen on my Rampage thread. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radico...-tutorial.html
Heat up your x-acto blade with a lighter or candle, cut into the plastic around the pin, this gives each finger independent articulation. 
BAM! 
Now he can more comfortably scratch his but. 
What's jetfire without jet fire?

Glad to see you working on!!! | you know, I am going to commission Big Hank to make me one. Nothing cuts better than a thin hot wire. In a sign shop I worked at, the guy somehow rigged wires up which get heated up to cut through sintra/PVC...
I'd imagine heating up a nice steel guitar string on a small hand saw would be a very beneficial tool for us.
edit: looks like they are already sorta out there...
I want a more "hand held" mini-version 
here's sort of a tutorial.... http://www.hhhh.org/~joeboy/resource...am_cutter.html

I'd like to see a wip thread for him too. I'd like to see what you did for the silver lines, like if you went with the etching idea, or just made decals. | |

I'd like to see what you did for the silver lines, like if you went with the etching idea, or just made decals. | The first prime I'm doing is about 90% complete. I was waiting on the read view mirror add-ons which arrived by mail today. They are from the Revell 1/25 Peterbilt 359 model kit, which tinfoil turkey and xeno-something (forgot his name) used on their primes back in 07.
I ended up painting primes silver lines. | |
