Skellie arm connection

[Sir Dano]

I know most people prefer the old ball joint connection, but I prefer the clip style. Here's a way to convert your old skellies with just flex tubing.

Them in use

I hope this helps somebody else.

(If anybody's wondering about the pic quality, some friends were up for the weekend and they let me use their camera.)

Nice! It looks like the real thing, but I prefer 'floppy' arms for dead guys, and 'stiff' arms for the undead guys.

Excellent work there sir dano......a great idea.....now those shoulders dont look so bulky.

Nice idea

But personally I still prefer the old skellies because they look more "lego" and does not have those enormous shoulders...

My computer is messed up, so the pictures don't show up, would it be possible to tell me the hyperlinks? I would be interested to see these.

Me too, how could a minifig die and then get bigger arms? The originals are more realistic for dead minifigures.

I personally prefer floppy arms anyway but it's a pain for holding stuff.

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks, I looked on your Flickr before but couldn't find them...

That's a really good way of changing the arm attachements, very fluent.

What did you use to plug onto the socket?

Flex Tubing

Flex Tubing

Ahhh yes. So the hole in them is useful for something! I still wonder why there is a hole all the way through, it doesn't need that to bend...
