I managed to make the elbow joints and they're just right.  |

Amazing! Did you make a mold to mass produce them, or are they one of a kind? They look so awesome... it's like machine made!  }D |

So I take your your friend never got back to you.. lol, well he gave the sample ball joint to the manufacturer but they're still estimating how much it will cost to produce the ball joint. Not all joints will be using ball joints so it's not much of a problem if takes a while for them to make it. I can still finish this figure without relying on them in the meantime. |

I love that threaded elbow joint design... it reminds me of the threaded joint attachments in Medicom RAH figures for their inner Joe structure. I enjoy watching the work in progress, but if I watch every step it spoils the suspense for me. I'll watch as it gets close to the final stage.  zozo-mag |

man this is crazy!! only an evil genius would do such a thing,well done so far gravewolf....or should i say.... DR. HELL!!!! (loljk)
You know if you finish this guy, would you consider to make Voltron(Golion) as your next project? i would love to see you're take on it. I know is gonna be a hard one but it would be far more superio than mattel's and Toynami's version.

I know is gonna be a hard one but it would be far more superio than mattel's and Toynami's version. Golion would be a good project since I've been dying to make a combiner but for now I still have 2 other figures to make after this. I'm even considering Voltes V but I think I still need to hone my skills more because making a combiner from scratch is a huge challenge. |

Finally made the joints for the elbow rotation. The tension will be provided by a spring and held by a nut to hold the elbow in place.  |

I also started making the knee joints but I'm thinking of doing a different design for the ratchet.  |

I'm really starting to hate summer! It's 39 degrees celsius inside the workshop and it feels like I'm working inside an oven. Some of the knee parts need a bit more work and I'll probably update the pics when I get it working right.

Still can't do an update since I'm really stuck working on the new batch of 1,000 pieces of silver pins and it's really wearing me out along with some personal matter I had to take care of. I really want to finish this figure but I bit off more than I can chew with the new pin orders. God I hope I don't work myself to death......
