Re: Siege Ultra Magnus' shoulders
ok... I decided that while I was scared to mess a 70+$ figure, I really wanted them to fit so...
I grabbed my precision files and went to work.
I filed the smokestacks just a tiny bit at a time until I could see that the tab was as flush as possible. I also tried filing inside the shoulder pieces where the smokestacks goes and managed to get maybe a paper thin amount off.
Didn't work but looked like it was in the right direction... I examined everything and could see that the white tabs in the back of the arms were still too high for the grey flaps to align correctly, and shortening the smokestacks more would not help.
so I filed those white tabs a bit at the bottom...
I took my time and it finally worked without needing to remove too much. I would pass the file between 5 to 7 times between retries, removing a paper thin amount at the time.
My shoulder pieces' grey flaps are finally snapping in, not as firmly as I hoped, but they are holding properly and no more shoulder pieces falling off.
