Modifying the NECA 1984 Godzilla Part I

To be fair to this figure, it's not as terrible as some make it seem. It's a rather pleasant surprise when you pull him out and look at him. He's a solid figure with a decent resemblance to the 1984 suit. And with a price tag of $20 bucks, I think he's the perfect figure to base a fairly simple mod off of.

To start, I want to say that I'm not going for 100% screen accuracy. I'm not attempting to rip this figure apart and reassemble it for a 1984 mini X-plus look alike. I want to utilize the decent figure that I bought, and with an additive process, make this figure look more like the 1984 Godzilla.

With the spines I just want to capture the overall look. I may be missing a curve here or there, but I want to get down the general shape and size to start then worry about that later.

I'm taking some artistic liberties, but I think for the initial sculpt, he's starting to look a bit more like the 84 already!
