So, I cheated and just stuck him on a stand. (URL) Front Left Angle> (2 URLs) Front (...) (21 years ago, 5-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

From our experience at work, you'd need to start around 150 degrees and gradually work upwards from (...) (21 years ago, 5-Sep-03, to lugnet.starwars)
