i just finished building my hive guard, but as soon as i attached the gun, he just kept on falling forwards. what can i do?

thanks

What's the english term for "contre-percer"?
Aniway, make a hole in the two parts (they should be facing) then glue a little stick of wood or metal. That should do the trick.

He should only fall over on a slope as his body is massive. Remedy: glue counterweight to the base and glue next Hive Guard with gun pointed to and touching the ground.

do you have any suggestions for a counter weight please?

The obvious answer would be anything heavy that you can glue to the underside of the mini base. I usually use a coin or two if needed; other people use washers or ball bearings.

This^

Or you could place him farther back on the base...He's metal, so he should just pop right out. If he has a peg in his foot, just drill another hole in the base.

ok, thanks, and i dont think im gonna sell the poor thing, i just got him

He's a cool model. We wouldn't expect you to

just fixed it Samus, thanks, this was more of a rhetorical question than one for help . thanks a lot guys, appreciated the help

i have that problem with hormagaunts.. well, everyone does... i use air- drying clay and cake it under the base. you can mbed fishing wieghts into it to make it heavier... useualy when you build it there impaler is supposed to tough the ground

i fixed it without having the impaler cannon to touch the ground, i moved it a little towards the opposite end of the base, like Samus suggested.
