    Its not complicated but I did mess up the right one. I was kind of winging it and didn't have it just right. The left turned out much better. Both work and if GP will let me buy another RH inner leg piece I can fix it easily. All you need is a set of Hobby Base swing joints medium sized. An xacto, and a low power drill/dremel/drill driver with a 1/8 bit. I'll try to get some pics of exactly how i did it later.

    I doubt it. The cuts I made would require major modification to the mold base costing in the tens of thousands. It may be possible to do it another better way certainly but to make it work with the specific changes I did wouldn't be financially reasonable for them.

    Thanks everyone. It was relatively easy. I really need to redo the right leg because i screwed it pretty bad. (If i could get a replacement or even a 3d printed piece that would fill in where i made a bad cut). I also need to tighten up the ball joints with some future. I'm still looking it over and thinking about whether or not its good as is. That's why I haven't posted more pics showing how its done.

    So I revisited and saw my error. I've only done the right one as of now but you can see the difference. And now it locks in. IMG_20171230_232818.jpg

    I'll probably make a thread with instructions once I'm done if anyone is interested.

    The Dino head is on a massive ball joint. I couldn’t get mine off, was afraid of breaking.

    I have posted this a while ago but I used Nufinish car polish to rub out the styrofoam marks. Use a small amount on a microfiber rag and rub it out in circles. Below is a photo of the product. Also I am including some updated photos of my Masterpiece collection. DSCN0017.JPG DSCN0018.JPG DSCN0019.JPG DSCN0020.JPG nufinish.jpeg

    Check details of the listing, see if there was any mention of damage. If not, contact seller. If they won't sort it (return/refund etc), take it up with EBay.

    Hey guys, anyone had luck getting a replacement tail for this guy? Mine snapped off on the rear tail section on the left side just like in Uncle Bobo's review. I was barely moving it and it came right off.
    If not how the hell do I fix it?
