The Killroy reconstruction project, has begun. I'm currently adapting Power Team Elite hips, to replace the frustrating Iron Man 2 ball hips. The next phase will see the ankles replaced with knee joints taken from an Indiana Jones figure, to provide rocker ankles.
The lower torso is mostly hollow, so I didn't have to remove a lot of material, make room for the cut down PTE waist. The plastic tube sticking out of the top of the new waist piece is just a stopper to keep it from going too far up into the torso. It won't be supporting anything, once everything has been glued together.
I've hollowed the thighs out as far down as possible. On one leg, I actually hit the top of the knee drilling my initial hole, when I started the process. This lets me retain the PTE thigh swivel, which I feel is a vital joint for dynamic looking mid action poses.
The top of the PTE legs are a little thin, front to back. I'll be building them up with some Apoxie sculpt, before I glue everything together.
