Pile of Necron Spare Parts
|
I purchased the first part of my army second hand. Due to the closing of a local game store I was able to pick up a large number of models for really cheap.
I am now attempting to assemble my first models and am wondering if fully assembling them will make painting them very difficult. I am following the instructions in the guide listed on the Games Workshop web page. I don't have a very steady hand and there is very little space between the arms, gun, and body. Any tips for making the painting easier?

Assemble the body, then paint that. Assemble the arms/gun, paint it. Put in the glow-y rod, glue arms into joints. Painted!

Well that sounds easier. Will I need to do anything to cover up the glue after gluing them in place or should it be pretty transparent if I keep a thin layer of super glue?

use PVA or elmers glue for the rods, super glue will cause it to cloud over white.

Thanks. That is something I didn't even think about.

You can have the glowy rods attached and spray paint the models silver, then dip them black//brown and paint the glow stick green/red/yellow etc if you'd like too. Bit harder, but everything is already assembled.
