Extending Torso HELP!

Posted in Custom Workstation

Im using an MU Indestructible Hulk for my first custom and would like to extend the torso. However, i am as novice as they come and have little experience. I've read up on cracking the torso to get in there and know some have replaced the abdomen peg with a revoltec joint, but dont know how to proceed.

Thanks in advance for the help. Can someone steer me to a tutorial with pics or video?

This is what I ended up doing at the suggestion from somebody on a facebook group, and it worked perfectly.

I cut the joint in half, dremelled out holes at each end, the inserted revoltech joint.

You could go the strait-forward route and try something like this:

Just jam the ends into both pieces and the torso will automatically be extended by whatever the diameter of the joint is.

There's usually no tutorial for mods like that, you have to improvise your way through, which is tough for someone only starting.

Maybe ask Dravenheart for advice, he deals with a lot of MU figures http://www.figurerealm.com/publicprofile?uid=7147

Thank you. I will contact him.

As I mentioned before, I read somewhere on here someone using a revoltech joint to make the abdomen show more. I would think id need a longer revoltech joint than whats already in there, so id have to replace the original. Any suggestions to this? Here is a pic of the cracked torso:
