    For some reason, the Gouf hands are mounted using a peg into a polycap, rather than a ball joint. I want to replace them with some other HG hands, since the Gouf hands are hollowed out around the palm (I don’t want to figure out filling/sculpting that). I cannibalized an HG Graze arm for the socket, shaved it down, and cemented it in place. A simple mod that worked out well.

    After fitting it, I realized how disproportionate the hand-arm is. When the arm is straight, it’s a fair bit longer than the cannon-arm. I thought about cutting it down, but that seems troublesome since the socket is already cemented to that length. Sucks, but at least it doesn’t look quite as bad when the elbow is bent — hooray for optical illusions!
