Hello. What's the best way to get these Resin Legs to fit the front seats? Can you notch and heat them like plastic? What do you use to heat the joint to bend it? I have little figure amputation experience.
Thanks for any ideas!
As for the arms I was going to try these 2 things:
1. Move the steering wheel closer to the dash and sand the body sides in to get the arms to fit.
2. Let an arm hang out the window.

Hi
Those figures look a little on the large side. I'm going by the plastic figure in comparison. Are they Verlinden by any chance? Notorious for being more 1/32 than 1/35.
You could cut out a small section at the joints. Drill a hole in each part, insert copper wire or wire from a paper clip into opened out area, then bend it to correct position. Once right fill in with epoxy putty like Milliput etc. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Alan for some direction and I got ideas from another website. These are 1/48 and basically this is all the modern stuff available currently. But, I saw the Generation Kill HBO series, so inspired, came up with the idea using these kits (Tamiya and Plus Model).
I believe the problem will be solved now with cutting a narrower pelvis here, shorter legs there, etc. I'll allow the Tamiya leprechaun to drive the Tamiya humvee and cut in half his standing MG partner to use the PK upper torso (since legs will be hard to see inside the closed top Tamiya vehicle).
Thanks
