Supreme Commander ACU mod Part 1

The Arms

Never try and shake hands with an ACU -- just look at those guns! Unfortunately, these complicate the build somewhat: not only is it extra detail but they add additional weight far outside the body's centre of gravity. Ensuring the whole thing stays standing will be a challenge.

One benefit is that both arms are the same, so I was able to use the same templates, saving a bit of time. Using the layers technique also makes life easy and allows you to keep things in basic proportion: you can see here I used two layers for the elbow joint and three for the upper arm / bicep piece.

The shoulder joint was made by sandwiching the arms with two pieces of polystyrene with another connected to the main torso. This guy looks like he's ready for the next SuperBowl!
