changing of what the figure does.
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, August 9, 2003 10:18 AM
Hi guys I've been wondering, if you buy one set of miniature people, and they're doing one thing, but you want them to do another. How do I change the structure of their hands, legs, etc? I know you have to use potty but how do I do that? All sollutions would be welcome.
Thanks guys.Smile [:)]

Hey there, Alex.

There are a couple of ways to go about it. If you have a lot of spares, you could forage around for body parts (sorry for being a little graphic) that would more or less approximate the pose you want. Of course, it presupposes that the parts should be from the same subject (US Infantry figure parts for US Infantry subjects).

A more radical technique would be to saw the parts at the joints, drill holes into the center, and insert copper wire onto each cut-up piece. The part could then be reattached and, with the copper wire, could be repositioned to your desire. The joint could then be filled with putty and sanded conformably.

Hope this helps.
