Thanks, glad you like him!  I would agree that the pecs are a little odd but
I was going for the comic drawn or CGI movie character dimensions.  The 2x2
round plates could have been placed vertically if hinge plates were used
(there are enough) but I wanted his fists/open hands to be vertical, so that
pretty much determined that result.

Perhaps you can attach an 1x2 plate with the studs out and let the studs make
the pecs? I don't know how the plate that is there now is attached.

I think I understand what you're saying.  I'll do some testing later this
week.  However, I'm thinking that a stud will not be large enough to
designate a pec.  I think this pic:

Yes, I did update the folder with better pics.  I need to break out the
tripod though because even the new one of HULK lifting up a vehicles is a
bit blurry.  I also just threw together a transformation phase mockup I did
in Photoshop (just for the effect--it needs MUCH work).

Hey neat!

Thanks!

Nope, the HULK have larger pecs then a stud at that scale, but at least he
would have two :)

To better explain, in your present version there is a 1 x 2 plate of some sort
facing bottom out in the pec region. If this could be replaced with a 1 x 2
plate facing studs out it would help suggest pecs.

And I studied that photo before claiming I don't see how it's done :)
