Posing figures properly on a model

RELATED TOPICS: GLUING

I’ve found an effective way to properly position arms and legs on figures to pose them properly with the model.

For example: To place a seated driver’s hands on a steering wheel, put the driver in its seat and place a bit of putty on the flat spot where the arm will attach to the body. Adjust the arm and body to the desired position. Use a felt-tip marker to draw lines around the arm on the torso. Remove the figure from the model, remove the putty, and glue the arm to the torso according to the markings. Slow-curing super glue will allow you to test-fit your figure while the glue cures. Complete the figure after the glue has set completely.
