Hello everyone! I'm in need of a little advice, I'm currently in the process of building my Tau army and am really struggling to position the fire warrior arms that are holding guns. I can never seem to get them level and they just don't look right. Should I be positioning a certain arm first and then the other later? is it worth the effort of pinning the arms so that I can manoeuvre them into position with more ease ?

Thanks for any help in advance

I know a lot of people prefer using super glue on plastic models but this is the main reason I use plastic glue - it gives you time to move the arms up & down to make sure they're level (on plastic models obs). That's the only tip I have.

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

Yup, plastic glue is the way to go. It doesn't really matter which arm you do first, as you should have time once the glue has grabbed to nudge them both around as necessary.

Always use super glue, make sure you have the right arm pair (they come in pairs) and glue the gun arm first. That's the way i do it. Superglue can always be popped off if you find a problem!
