Are those two right bicep pieces? They look the same in the picture, it could be the angle. They both look like they have the squared off inner piece. Where's the "Nemo" arm? ;)

Can't wait to see this build. I'm gonna have to upgrade my FX TX helmet soon.

Dark-GTI04 , Yes I have 2 right biceps as it fits my left better than the "left" because it's rounder.

OK, biceps are glued. Now of a little sanding and paint prep.

Back plate is trimmed out, also needs some fine sanding and then paint prep.

And started gluing a thigh. Rare earth magnets are great for clamping the middle of long parts.

Here are the magnets I use:

Buy a bunch because their shipping is killer, but their magnet prices still make it worth it. Also buy extra because when they get away from you and crash into one another they can break.

Not much progress today, didn't have much time. Got the butt and chest plate trimmed.

Finished gluing the thigh from the earlier post, and started on the helmet. Still have to put on the other ear and do a little more tweaking on the helmet too.

Didn't like the gap between the helmet and ear so I trimmed it to fit nice and tight, also go the other ear on too. The goal is to prep for paint tomorrow, and prime on Sunday.
