Can I make these things stick? I don't want to glue them down, I like how the back legs have a bit of grab so I can move them still, and I know they'll be even more snug after I give them paint and a liberal coat of varnish to keep it from scraping off, but the front claws, how the hell? is there anything I can use to keep the front claws snug and fit without glue, so they can be positioned like the rear legs? the ball and socket joint on the front is MUCH looser than the back legs.

I've thought about maybe greenstuffing a better hold, But I'm not too sure how well that will work. Any suggestions?

glue 'em in. They're models, not action figures :-P

If you're dead set on keeping all the parts fully mobile, then put a thin layer of green stuff over the "ball" on the arms' socket; make sure you give it the full 24 hours to dry before popping 'em into the "socket" though, since Green Stuff will adhere to the joint otherwise, defeating the whole "no glue" concept.
