LEGS:
so you are gonna want to start with the legs these are the most important things structurally  they need to be able to bare the weight of the whole thing so make them strong (pic. 1-2)

BODY:
the body is again a very important item it joins the two legs togher and hold the arms up i like to use a box type shape to make sure it will hold up well (pic. 3)

ARMS:
these are not to important unless you are using the for structure then they are also important i usually stay away from using them as a structure but whatever you want i usually  decide what i want the hands to be first (ex.claws, guns, hands...) then i set to work looking for the right junk.
 (pic. 4-5)

optional:
lighter, the lighter is for if you use the glue gun beacuse we all know how it leaves behind those pesky threads of glue that make a project look cheap. just hold the lighter right under the threads and they melt away.
