To combine the MU upper leg to the Joe knee/lower leg I used the screws that I removed from the Joe figure's thighs. You can kinda see the screws in the photos. It works, but not as well as I would have liked. There's gotta be a pin out there that would work better than this. |

Looks pretty sweet! Cap looks ready to drop in on some bad guys. Might have to do something silimar. I really like it.

That's a great idea. Good eye!

Thanks. I actually ended up using two Para-Vipers, because I tried to use sculpey to make the helmet fit better but the helmet melted during the baking process. Cutting the feet off went pretty easy, and I used model glue to glue Cap's feet to the Para-Viper calves.

The MU legs popped off at the hips; it's a simple ball joint. To separate the upper leg from the knees I ran hot water over the joint and then popped it loose. The joint was held together with a small, plastic pin.
To combine the MU upper leg to the Joe knee/lower leg I used the screws that I removed from the Joe figure's thighs. You can kinda see the screws in the photos. It works, but not as well as I would have liked. There's gotta be a pin out there that would work better than this. So you couldn't use the pin that originally held the MU knee to the MU thigh? Did the Joe knee joint have a hole that was too big for the MU knee pin? |

Here are a few more photos.
Cap's thighs with the Para-Viper's calves/feet. I ended up cutting the feet off where the pants and boots meet, since that was the cleanest spot to work with. Cap's first time standing on his new legs. Here you can see the screw that's holding the MU upper leg to the G.I. Joe lower leg. To his right you can see the small plastic pin that held the MU figure's leg pieces together. (Actually, to our right and his left.) An unaltered Cap next to Airborne Cap. The Airborne Cap is a little short, but not nearly as short as he would have been if I hadn't made the foot switch. Last edited by battlegrip; 03-29-2009 at 03:02 PM.. |

It looked like everything should have worked, but I couldn't get the pieces to snap together properly. Heat may have helped, now that I think about it, since it took heat to separate the pieces.
