It should really accelerate once the legs are done. The rest of it is only like 8 pieces.
I need to get some magnets sorted ASAP though.

Question, maybe you know the answer Buttery now that you're the proud owner of one: they list the model as being 40 CM tall, does this include the Apocalypse launcher on the carapace, or is that another few CM's on top?

If it's the FW site, then it doesn't include the pepper shaker.
Because you can use the Warhound arms as back weapons, they don't assume that's standard.
Buuuut the composition really emcourages you to squat the build. You can do totally straight legs without difficulty, so it's all about pose.

I've only ever seen a Reaver with straight knees - is this pinned or is there a slot/groove it can stick to?

Some people find the idea that other people can be happy offensive, and will prefer causing harm to self improvement.

The knees are like smooth rollers with a groove in them, they can go to a certain angle and back again. Mine is as severe as you can go with the knee.. The hips also have a limitation to stop you making it so that you cannot fit the pistons. I had to push that limit very much.

Another odd question, how big are the feet? Would they fit on a CD each, or are they too big for those?

And the first justification of my clear base.

A) Way too big.

B) Way too heavy.

If you did it and put it down at an angle, the disc would shatter.

RIP Red Dead Redemption...

Apart from that, I have no idea how to help you with a shattery base.

Pity, this means I'll have to look into custom bases whenever I go mad enough to go down this path.

The base hasn't shattered, I meant the cd would!
It's a long story as to why that base is actually six half pieces rather than three identical triangles.

The short of it is my friend cut the pieces at work where we made signs for a living. He used scrap so we were limited by size.

The hand is pinned but not glued. The engines are glued as a block, and pinned but not glued to the back yet.
I'm struggling to work out how the cabling will work at this angle. :(

You might have to custom make or extend the current cables. I would suggest green stuff world for their cable and tentacle roller, it is really top notch

These cables are as wide as a pencil though. Can you make those with a tool.
