I used a small hobby torch to solder the wire arms onto the body. Spending some time fitting the wire so it makes good contact with the inside of the body will make for a much stronger joint. I also sand both pieces I'm soldering right before.

I went with a four finger hand approach because it was easier to use small V's of wire.

I like to pretty much get the arms and fingers into position at this point because If you didn't do a very good job soldering they will break off. It's easier to fix now without the electronics inside.
