Finally came up with a viable solution to put the finishing touches on my Master Shredder!!! Had some great input from Jarred706 & Vestarr ( thanks to both of you ), but decided to go a different route. What had been puzzling me was a way to create the armour spikes on this guy. These are what makes Shredder, well, Shredder. I ended up using the curved points that are at the end of dental picks w/ the floss attached...worked great! The forearm blades are Transformer Scorponok ( misspelled? ) feet cut down to size. Everthing else is same recipe as before. Hope you all enjoy the final product...bye, bye, BL4CK5H33P :)
