Hey Marco, I’m glad you found the instructions useful, and it looks like they were easy enough to follow. This is a great version!

  
I replaced the minifig head as I couldn’t find a helmet in a suitable color.
When I tried to pose I had problems to bring the gun into a cool position. It didn’t look like this little guy was on a patrol. I also had problems to make him shoot. Thus I tried to alter the disign of the arms. Here’s the result:
 
Two hinge plates, two 1x2 technic bricks with two holes, one technic pin without friction, a long one with friction, a 1x1 technic brick and a 1x1 brick. Thats all what is different to Kyle’s original arm design. It’s a bit bigger but has also a bit more articulation.

   I’m really interested in what you think about those arms
Marco

I had a feeling someone would improve the design, and you’ve done it! The extra joint in the arm really helps loosen up the form. I also like the parts you used in place of slopes to detail the upper arm. You’ve given me some more ideas to play with here. Very cool!
