Tutorial for small figures (seated pilots in my case)

[redruffensore]

That's right, none of you do figures, so this is moot I guess!

Anyhow, I wanted to give a little short tut on how I do it.

It's real hard to align the arms to the control stick/wheel, throttle, etc. with nothing but a slick mount on each. I drill 0.017-in, #79 bit, to accept wire of the same size. Drill through the arms and CA a piece of wire to each, leave enough on one side to handle and manipulate and enough on the other side to give a good join to the figure. Mark and drill a hole in the figure for each arm and test fit. After doing so, I fit the figure in the seat and pit and manipulate the arms to a position I like before CAing in place. Once done, cut the excess wire, it's easy.

Note: O² mask and hose were cut before CAing the arms.
