This will probably drive me mad, but I'm gonna give it a shot: Attachments:

Good luck! Could be worse though, you could be doing what I'm doing for Destroyer. Taking a Thorbuster IM sculpting bands & the drilling & cutting brad nails to fit then painting. I started that over a year ago & don't have the drive to finish it.

Are you drilling or just gluing? I have seen 6 or so of those that people have redone with heavy pins or sewing needles. Talk about having a non-playable action figure.

I'm drilling then cutting the tip off a toothpick then gluing.
I plan on it being fully playable when I finish.

Y'know, they have medications that can tone down that OCD, man. It's probably covered by your insurance, too!
No spikes down the middle of the forearm?

Naw, the various reference pics I been using/sculpt of the figure don't show spikes down the center of the forearm. Between dremeling and the glue, I lose a lot of surface detail, so I am trying to preserve as much of that as I can. I'll start on the right side later today.

Isn't anyone wondering where his other foot went?!?!
That's cool man. I respect the amount of work you're putting in I could never do it. Too scatterbrained.

I took both feet off so as not to dremel into the peg and/or glue it in place. Once I finished the leg, I put it back on. Did the same with the hands.
Now if I can just find the other hand....
Finished the right arm last night.

Finished the spikes. Wow, what a chore. I'll throw up a pic later. Gonna sculpt out the button and battery hatch next.

Geez, that's a lot of spikes! You are mad. Maybe this is the therapy...
Looks great, man.
