Inside Forearm
 
 

Keep these together for the ease of glueing. 
you can see that the only pieces that are going to be used are the strips.
I have already scored them but will glue this to the back side of the forearm before i do the final snap

The 2 dots on the "railroad' piece for the forearm detail get positioned toward the wrist. Make sure you sand both ethe pack of the resin piece as well as the opposite gluing surface.
 
Notice that the forearm boxes have a left and a right.
 
THEY DO NO GET GLUED ON STRAIGHT! 
There is a slight angle to them.
Follow the line there the box and the railroad meet.

A couple things to note with the forearms.

 

1) Definitely remove as much return edge on the wrists as you can because they're a bit long and dig into the wrists.

 

2) I would back the seam with either very thick ABS or else use JB Weld plastic weld or something to do the inside seam because it's so hard to get your hands through the holes at the end that the pressure puts a lot of torque on the bondo. It probably depends on your hand size, but mine has been tricky.

 

3) Make sure your seams are perfect before gluing on the greeblies. It's a major pain to fix/cleanup once those are on there. ;)

 

What a great resource! Thanks for all the work everyone.
