Awesome job on the custom!
I, too, used that body for a custom Sgt. Slaughter. I have those SE knees. May have to borrow this recipe to add some better articulation to my Slaughter! Jason |

Here's what I did with mine back in the day, although if memory serves someone else actually put this together and sent it to me.

...I don't remember whose hands those were. RoC Heavy Duty is possible.

I have tried a few different ways to get get good hands for this fig. What is the most suitable hand? MTF are too thin, and Night Adder hands seemed to have incorrect as well.

I didn't bother with hot glue on mine. Instead, I used 50th Anniversary Heavy Duty (v13) hands for this. It's the same hands found on Roadblock (v23), Roadblock (v24), Roadblock (v25), Repeater (v4), Repeater (v5), Salvo (v3), Leatherneck (v9), and Bazooka (v4)...and possibly others. I used an Xacto knife to cut the wrist cuffs off of the Heavy Duty forearms. I didn't take any arm material with it, I just carefully took off only the cuffs. Then I took the cuffs and slid them onto the wrist pegs and inserted the now-cuffed wrist peg/hand sets into the forearms. The cuffs had a twofold effect. First, they fixed the shortened forearm and awkward transition from arm-to-hand. Second, they prevented full insertion of the wrist peg into the forearm, meaning the hands weren't able to flop around loosely because the wrist peg was actually making good contact with the narrower "front" part of the wrist socket. It's not as secure as a properly-designed forearm with built-in cuff would be, but it's rugged enough for play. A determined child could certainly remove the hand still but my kids have been playing with this Roadblock figure for about a year now with no accidental hand removal. If you know of a good glue that would actually hold the cuff to the forearm, you would have a total fix. I just don't know of a glue that would truly bond the two parts together.
