Hi Guys,

Not sure if many of you have experience assembling the metal noise marine componants, namely the sonic weapons.

I have assembled my models aside from attaching the weapon arms, as I had planned on undercoating them all first, then painting, then attaching the arms, as the guns take up so much space I wouldn't be able to access much of the detail well enough.
Unfortunately, on a dry fit I have noticed the arms do not fit properly AT ALL.
NONE of them sit flush.

If any of you have experienced this, any advice you could give me would be amazing!

Do i just paint as planned, then greenstuff the arms on then paint again and prey I don't screw up, or do i just pin, glue and fill completely now before painting and cut my losses?

What makes this more difficult is I am painting them all white, meaning any stuff ups would be quite apparent.

Thanks all

I have never touched the metal plague marines, but if I were doing something like that, I would drill, pin and greenstuff the arms into position (without glue) - wait for it to set, then snap the arm off, and superglue the greenstuff to one side - then proceed as if it fit normally.

That's actually a pretty good idea - I never even though of that.

Genius!

Thanks, mate!
