They&#8217;re just slightly misaligned, which is unfortunate, but I don&#8217;t       think it&#8217;ll be a big deal for this first Sumo.  I also took       another four hours to create a new uper arm cuff which I&#8217;ll       recast to create upper arm and forearm parts.<\/p>\n<p>In the photos you can see basically how the new elbow hinges go       together (if you look closely you can see the 3mm rod and       polycap inside &#8211; when the hinge halves are pressed together, the       joint appears as a solid sphere.) and roughly how the whole       thing will look when completed.  The modified hand part is also       in the &#8220;Arm Progress&#8221; photo.  The arm cuff took some time       because I wanted it to look good for recasting, and to be       convenient to fit onto kit parts with just minor alterations.       Plus I was working with Bondo instead of my usual, preferred       Doro Doro poly putty&#8230;.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, Bondo&#8217;s great for       some stuff &#8211; Bawoo&#8217;s done incredible stuff with it and I&#8217;ve done       some reasonably good work with it, too &#8211; but in some ways it       just can&#8217;t compete with Doro Doro.  There simply is no       comparison.  Now I&#8217;m off to make the mold to recast the upper       arm cuff&#8230;  (Mold preparation takes a lot of time, since the       rubber needs to cure, so it&#8217;s not something that can be delayed       at this point!)<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Sumo\/sumo_050815_arm_progress.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Sumo\/sumo_050815_arm_progress_thumb.png\" alt=\"Arm Progress\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Sumo\/sumo_050815_spherical_hinge_1.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Sumo\/sumo_050815_spherical_hinge_1_thumb.png\" alt=\"Hinge Construction\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Sumo\/sumo_050815_spherical_hinge_2.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Sumo\/sumo_050815_spherical_hinge_2_thumb.png\" alt=\"Hinge Construction (2)\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating a pair of spherical hinges took about two hours work.
