Why the solid arms?

No issue, just curious.

The static elbows didn't work out too well on this one. On figures with large muscular arms, I sometimes fuze the elbow joints to keep the look of the arm fluid. With these arms, there was a gap between the upper arms and the lower arms that was too large for paint to fill. I used epoxy instead, but used too much. Instead of filling in the gaps, it made the sleeves look billowing and fluffy above the mouth of the glove. Or deformed. It looked bad after I sculpted it, so I sanded it down, but not enough.

Otherwise I'm pretty happy with the figure.

What's the recipe?
I think you did some sculpting, the collar and the "techno-eye"? Looks great!

Thanks!

The eye scope/headgear thing are sculpted. The collar is not.

Here's the recipe:

Head: ROC Rex "The Doctor" Lewis head
Torso, upper arms: 25A Destro
Lower arms, legs, feet: 25A Serpentor
Backpack: ROC Neo-Viper
Collar/Shawl around neck: Star Wars- cut from cape of Padme in snow gear
Kibble on torso: Star Wars- cut from Pit Droid arms
