I just need help with a few building processes, I'm still working on my first series.
----

I think I finally figured out how to carve out hands, fingers, and toes, at least in a decent way, but I'm not sure how to fabricate them, it just seems like it'll end up sloppy by the time I'm done sewing and gluing.

I'm really not sure how to attach the arms, legs, and head to the torso. I cut everything out of a different block of foam, if that matters. It seems like glue would just come undone with the high impact of moving around. I know that for heads, a lot of people use the "sock" method. Is that the best choice?

And for posable fingers and legs - I know that there's wire involved, but I'm afraid that I'll seriously screw it up if I just go ahead and shove it in the foam. How exactly does that work? Thanks.
