I have been on this site for almost a year, and everyone complains about Duke Arms. I found a way to make use of excessive pieces. I recently was customising a Zap figure, found out how to "rig" the harness, well I needed hands that match. Unfortunately I had one set of CP Storm Shadow Hands, they semmed ok for the moment, then I noticed a Breaker "Duke" arm that was lying on my workbench popped on the Commando Duke uniform the arm was still poked out a bit far. So I took an exacto-knife and shaved the excess arm down to a small peg only leaving the hand remaining. popped on the arm and it fits like a glove and looks more natural.

JR, I'm an idiot. You go through detailed explanations, but I never have any idea what you're describing.
In short, I need pictures to follow along at home.

basically take exact knife and shave off excess arm flesh leaving only the peg in middle. Like when someone eats an apple cut thru the arm until arm resembles just a hand with a LONG peg sticking out, then cut a small piece of that peg and place in sleeved area of choice, will prob make another for Flint's arms to make a Python Trooper w/o gloves on.

Remember the part I am describing is the arm-hand part.

Nice idea. I've used Duke hands a lot. I typically end up cutting off the peg and the hand, then gluing the peg to the hand. Basically it's just getting rid of the forearm bit.

Yep u got it, with exception cut around the peg without cutting peg off until the peg is longer than it is supposed to be; then you just snip the peg shorter to desired length to attaching hand.
