Soldering ended up being a mess and ruined both arms I was working on. Before going back to square one, I wanted to try super gluing his joints together to see if that would hold, but I then decided using epoxy putty would give a better bond for what I was trying to do. And it worked! (for the most part)
His hips are not sturdy enough right now because I just fed the wire directly through his wood waist instead of putting copper pipes filled with putty in them. But that's an easy fix. He can also stand on his own, as demonstrated in the pictures, but I want to make a base where I can screw into his feet so that everything is really solid. I'll be fixing his hips and continuing to refine the skull before I get to building up his muscles, but that's coming pretty soon. Till then, thanks for looking!
