Jin's "How to make a ball joint neck" Tutorial!

Hey everyone, my ball joints arrived and I've finished the tutorial! This explains how to add a basic ball jointed neck to most Transformers. It's one of the more simple modifications in my opinion and can be done by just about anyone.

Hope this helps, enjoy!

Are some of the ball joints in the pack the kind where you can bend it to a 90 degree angle?
