Scattershot has to be my favorite. He looks cool and he's fun to play with. Dig the new face!

Cool, it looks very posable

If you don't mind me asking, how did you construct the elbows and hips for him?

I really would like to do a similar project myself at some point and it would be a good reference. cheers dev!

I forgot to reply to this! Scattershot's hips came from BW Magnaboss team member Ironhide. I lost a lot of sleep trying to think of who to butcher for parts in the pile of figures I already had.

I took Scattershot's crotch and cut away the post where Scattershot's leg connected. I then took a section from Ironhide's shoulder and a section from one of his elbows and sandwiched Scattershot's crotch with the two parts. I then put Ironhide's shoulder section back together as Scattershot's hip. Finally, I took Scattershot's leg and cut a big hole in the hip until the scanded down Ironhide shoulder fit inside. When all of that was done being glued I sanded it all to shape.

It's really hard to explain. I'll have to try to remember to take a picture of how the crotch looks from the inside, you'd get the idea then.
