me and my son think he's the coolest looking "bad guy" on the cartoon and since they, playmates , isnt going to be making one i decided to do this myself. Now dont start thinking i took the chop and glue route , no way. just as background Ive been fabricating custom car audio systems for 10+ years , working with fiberglass and abs plastic and other sh*t too , so i thought this wouldnt be hard at all. 1st i busted oen u.n.'s torso to get his arms and head. 2nd took drako apart ( he has screws ) and removed wheel and mechanism that makes his head move, took a 1/4 drill bit and and made 2 holes below both of drakos arms about an 1 1/4 down for the 2 new arms , this way the 2 new arms are functional as well .3rd using a tool called a hot knife ( it melts thru plastc to cut and shape and etc...) i cut drakos head on a diagonal so that u.n.'s would sit on the neck like on the cartoon and that his pony tail is still there and can still wear a mask , using the hot knife i melted the head and neck together (much stronger than any glue ) this also gives the effect of melting , like the head is kinda bubbling out of the neck, for drakos head , i melted a hole in the chest and the and melted them together , here though i "plastic welded" to make it look like drakos head is rippng out .the arms are switched around as well, so that the lefts and rights are different. just need to find matching red paint for touch up. but i need help , i dont know sh*t about computers and how to get the pix here. i tried but it said it was too big? tell me how so i can show it. i know about cars,electronics,wiring,carpentry, and customizing, but not computers.
