    An absolutely awesome custom. I especially love how you made the tail fully possible.

    Nice work! I always thought the tail could use a little more poseability too, was gonna try threading one of the plastic coated twist ties that LC Prime was packaged with through each segment of the tail. I was stumped on a good ball joint for the head though, never started the project. Looks awesome.

    Thanks for all the comments.


    I forget who did this tail mod but I too was trying to find the right ball joint for the neck before I tried this.

    whoa - MUCH better.

    How'd you mod the tail - did you do follow Matt Booker's mods or did you go with the twist tie?

    I used the twist tie but can't find who it was that did it first. Is there another mod too?

    Matt Booker did another, much more complex mod... HERE

    But I'm more inclined to try this mod, much more attainable...

    That's the one I did. The only thing I didn't do were step 2,3, and 7. I just poked a hole and glued the twist tie in both ends.

    Thanks for the credit, but damn if that doesn't look badass all painted up! Nicely done!
