Project: Wolverine 2

I know I promised to upload the pics of the customized Wolverine. But I got sidetracked due to *amai tangan* and ending up misplacing the parts I needed to finish that project. So I decided to work on another Wolverine figure.

This time around its from the M.L. Apocalypse series. Specifically, the unmasked Wolverine variant.

Tools Needed:

• Drill
• Metal file
  
• Super Glue
• Bobby Pins
• Cutters
• Wolverine Figure(obviously)
• Sandpaper or hobby tool

I opted for silver bobby pins with a sort of 'serrated' look on one side. I decided on this because its a custom job and its mine. So there, no more questions. Hahaha. I will try to use sail needles in the future.

Other than that steps are quite simple.

Cut the rubber claws. Then use it as a measurement for cutting the length of the bobby pins. Use the cutter to shape the edge of the bobby pins and be careful. It will fly off in every direction. You can use the cutter to shape the edge of the bobby pins. Then use the metal file to sharpen it.

Use the sandpaper to smooth the cut area on the hand. Then drill 3 holes making sure the spacing are far apart.

Old vs. New

Use the finished bobby pins to test if the holes will hold them. It doesn't matter if its a little loose. Then add a little bit of super glue into the hole and insert the metal claws. Start with the middle. If the claws are not aligned fix the spacing by using your fingers before the glue dries. Again be careful since you've sharpened it.

And you're done. You can also use those big paper clips if you don't want it sharp/dangerous and you're just going looking for an alternative to the boring soft rubber claws.

This isn't the best customized Wolverine out there. I've seen better by other people on the net.. But at the very least it looks much more dangerous as it should be. Also the M.L. Series III Wolverine would've been better. But I'm happy with it and I know Spidey will also appreciate these pics. What do you think?
