Okay, can you spot what is different or wrong with this Mazinga compared to other Mazinga?
I will create a quick web page in the next post or so to show.

The question is... What is Right about this Great Mazinger? Absolutely awesome. It looks like it was manufactured that way. And look at the distance it fires!!! That hollowed out shaft has gotta help! You even got the fist to line up as if the launching fist is attached to the upper arm. You just remove the nubs? Screw mount in the back? Some damn fine work sir! You're hired! Will

You just remove the nubs? Screw mount in the back? Yeah, I sanded down the 4 inside bumps that would normally hold the arm in place to the shoulder. There is one screw on the backside to help keep the "in-shoulder" shooting mechanism in place. On Grendizer, there are 2, one in front and back, but it has a nice recessed spot for the screws, Mazinga doesn't. So, I just used a single screw on the backside. I thought about not even using that, then forgot. Once I knew everything was a proper fit. I was going to shoot some hot glue into the shoulder with it out horizontally. Then, insert the shooter mechanism, line up the button hole and lower the arm for the hot glue to ooze around and hold it in place that way instead. I may still do that in a week or two. I am going to leave the fist in for awhile and see if all the parts look fine. I used a harder plastic resin for the parts and let the parts cure more for several days before using. I saw on one shooting insert, if I got in too much of a rush by only waiting a day, the plastic wasn't done curing, it could still move slightly under maintained pressure.
