Any way to add multiple arms to a minifig?

[HumanPackMule]

Anyone know how to give a minifig multiple arms? I want my sigfig to have more than two arms. Any help would be appreciated.

None that I know of, if you're desperate enough, you'd have to cut into the torso with a drill the exact same size as minifigure arm sockets.

Well, if you are shooting for an alien like Sig-Fig, then this piece, Frenzy's head is good, but you can only use arm pieces that connect to a rod.

Now if you don't want an alien feel, you can use use an old torso, or drill a hole through a new torso, slot a rod through it, and connect something rod-attachable. I remember there being a topic about this somewhere, and I was gonna give you a link, but I can't find it.

Sadly, it seems the only multiple arm techniques are only 'Rod-Accessible'

Hope it helped a minor bit.

You can always try what xueren over at brickshelf did with his spiral:Spiral Minifig

I'd make sure you have his permission to use the technique, first. At least if you're displaying it.

That's basically what I want to achieve with my sigfig. Where can I find out how to do that?

Not sure if it would work, but you could try using this technique to get two arms to hold on a minifig.

But what is the technique exactly? Cutting extra holes into a torso? I think Arthas is looking for a purist solution.

--> I don't think that there exist a tutorial how you must to do this.

--> But it can't be hard... just use the right size of drill (so take some dimensions first).

--> If you refer to hime on your photostream that it's not your technic or idea,... I think it will be fine.

--> A very good photostream is FLICKR and it's free.

--> Personaly I find flickr much better then Brickshelf (more options and more and more builders go to this site).

Try using one of those neck bracket pieces and make brick-built arms. It's a simple, yet smart technique (in my world).

You can put this part between torso and legs. Normal arms can be added to it.

If you do intend to powerdrill some new arm sockets, be careful. Not only of your personal safety, that should be obvious, but also powerdrills tend to skip a little - which is of course very noticeable at this scale. Personally, I take a scalpel and place it right at the centre point of where I want the hole; then rotate the scalpel gently. This wears a small dimple in the plastic that will help keep the drill bit from slipping or skipping across the surface.

Whichever path you take, good luck with it!

If I do decide on drilling, I'll probably ask my dad to do it. I like the idea of the piece from the construction sets as well.
