Fixing arm slots into the core

So just like the torso and legs - the arms will slot on and off the torso for ease of transportation. Before I foamed the arms I milled down two sections of smaller steel bar to fit in some different sized box section - shown in the photos below - I suspended the steel bar sections in the arms when foaming and the box section will be glassed into the torso core. Hopefully the photos will explain properly!





After temporarily fixing the box section in with bridger (Isopon P40) and letting it fully cure, I carefully unslotted the arms and reinforced the bridger with standard fibreglass matting and resin.
