Godzilla Q Project 04/11/12

With the help of my wonderful uncle, the original spines of the Monsterarts Godzilla were cut off ( OH THE HORROR ) .
I learnt quite a bit about the MA spines while my uncle was cutting them off. They are translucent plastic that was covered in clay for extra thickness.

Very clever way to prevent any major damage.

And so what you see is the result of a few hours spent this evening to glue on the spines you see now. However, the Super Glue used almost cost me the articulation in the left thigh. The stuff was so dam runny it trickled down the side and got into the gap covering the joint. It was a fight to get it moving again before setting rock solid. While I stopped that from happening parts of that thigh now have GLUE MARKS T_T. Its a bit of an eye sore ...But I will manage.

So after another hour of trimming the spines and making sure they stuck tightly to the body, the replacement was complete. Very happy with the end result dispite the plunders it took to get this far. (Stupid glue ..)

At that moment I decided to get part of the tail back in ... Jesus.H.Christ ...That ball joint would not have it ... AT ALL. I actually had to tap it against the table to push it in and even that took awhile.

And they say these figures are fragile, HELL NO. They are tough bastards ( minus KG's Wing joint)

This is the last you will see of this custom til I get the next set of parts ready (Spikes)
