Charlie Flatt Style Shoulders advice-Best way?

[Neutron X]

I need some answers that could save me a lot of time. I reread the old Toyfare Charlie Flatt How to article and had a few questions. Does someone make the rounded Flatt slotted Gijoe type shoulder joint for Megos? Or would it be best to make them myself.

In the article Charlie puttied the shoulder joint round, then molded it. After casting it he sanded off excess flash, drilled hole for for wire and cut a slot for hook. This gives the figure greater pose-ability with the arms. Results are great just trying to figure easiest way to go about this.

What Jason said. 99% of Flatt customs are this exact body, a type 2 with LJN arms. Still one of the finest designs to date.

Thanks for the info guys. For the chest did he do his own design or use the He-Man chest to start from?

[BlackKnight]

I don't think he used the He-man Chest ... often ? .
I know later he used a similar He-manesque Torso for certain projects.

In the article he is referencing, it was a casting of a He Man upper body

Flatt's go to for torsos was a remco wrestler. They are similar to the He-Man torso but just a touch slimmer.
