How to make joints

Or if you attach another disc to the one in the center and sculpt some knee or elbow onto it, you would have a ML double joint....if that makes sense. Or if you take the 2 outer discs and replace them with semi circles, you have a ball joint.

If you used a full screw (meaning including the "head" for the peg in the center circle, you could make the HML elbow joints w/ the swivel... wonder why that guy chose not to

Found another pic of a scratch made joint. This one is made with Renshape.

Huh... I had never really thought about making my own like that. Pretty simple and certainly less expensive than cutting up other figures. I'm experimenting with adding a swivel out of scratch to Gargan Venoms elbow though, might post how that goes.

Thats what I do also.

Awesome, hope that works out for ya.

Thanks Green Skin. That actually did make sense. I'll try that.

Using an existing joints works, but if you have to make your own here is what you need:



3 discs of the same diameter, 2 of them should be thin, and 1 should be thick.
1 small cylinder.
1 dowel, or plastic rod.

Drill a hole into the center of the 3 discs that is large enough to fit the plastic rod.

Put the 2 thin discs onto the rod, and space them far enough apart so that the thick disc fits between then snuggly.
*as shown in the pic.

Now take the cyclinder piece and glue the flat end onto the edges of the 2 thin discs. Once the glue dries you can remove the plastic rod. Now the thick disc can be inserted in between the 2 thin discs and you can put the plastic rod back through. Now you have a basic joint. Now you just have to anchor it into the figure and do a little sculpting onto the thin discs. Let me know if you have any questions about anchoring.

Hopefully this made sense.

hahahaha dude that was so funny!!! lmao!!

Single joints. Don't want get too complicating with smaller figures like Star Wars.


Oh, and good one DiceMan...I walked right into that one.

I actually have a book on that. Are you talking about Double joints (ML joints) or single joints (DCUC joints)??

you stuff the grass into a small peice of rolling paper and then you tightly roll it up lick the sticky side and seal


o wait you were talking about other joints huh
