Hi all , so here is the story , I got this bunch of figures for a price I couldn`t resist . There was nothing really outstanding about them , and one or two were missing more parts than others . But I could see potential in them , and I like doing up older figures . " Doc Oc " I hope is the most challenging , he had only one artificial arm left , I will try and explain the fixes as we go , thanks to a fellow member giving me the nod , I managed to squeeze in a few how too photos . Another friend also suggested a look on YouTube , and sure enough there was a fix on there , all be it on a smaller scaled figure . These new arms are by no means perfect but they work for me . Hope you like him .
So I used some USB lap top lights for the replacement arms , firstly cutting off the USB plugs .
By drilling into the Docs back , with a drill just wide enough to make the new arms a snug fit , and threading the arms through some suitably sized bolts , I then used an epoxy glue to hold them in place . These were left a day or so to set .
I then removed the plastic off the light ends , and painted the inside bulbs with enamel Red Paint .
I then needed to come up with something for those claw like hands , so I used these electrics Crocodile clips . Which had to be dismantled , and bent into positions I liked .
I then glued these in place and used some shrink tube to secure them further .
Here are a couple of photos , with the jacket fitted .
His face was a bit dinged in places so here is the start of touching those up , his nose neck and hair needed a touching up .
That`s about it for the fixes , I gave Doc a pair of shades , and this is how he ended up looking .
