As the titles says. It doesn't seem to be indicated on the sprues and none of the fits are so snug as to be obvious. Basically I've got one more attempt at this before I've wrecked the models, please help! Really irritating me as currently I can't get them to stand up on the stands or anything. I'm thinking bigs ones up front and small at the back, as the other way doesn't work at all. They continually drop off too, and I've resorted to strong superglue because I don't want to melt the plastic anymore.

Not particularily impressed with this box-set tbh. The models themselves can turn out really nice but the amount of gluing they require is stupid, especially considering how flimsy they feel afterwards. I've got one built and it feels like it could fall apart at the slightest knock.

How have others found these? Building them doesn't exactly seem like an enjoyable experience :p.

EDIT: Also, all the hands seems to be right-hands? Using the thumbs as a guide, all the ones you put on the left effectively have a broken wrist, and at the very least they certainly do not allow you to put the storm shields on the outside of their left arm without the hand being unnaturally positioned? I'm thinking I may need to nock up a 'rail' to put on the outer side of the arms to place the shields on?

Why not check the instructions? They always state exact number parts.

I think the person that bought them for me may have had a look in the box before I got them (which isn't a problem really, they're into wargaming themselves so...). I don't have the instructions or transfer sheet :p. I may see if I can get a pdf or something. Failing that they're probably lying around his house somewhere. The third model today was easier, I think I rushed the feet yesterday and obscured the detailing that makes fitting the feet easier. If you have a good look before hand they make sense.

Hi mate i wasn't really impressed by the gw box set either so i bought these thought you'd like to check them out here's the link

sorry couldnt help with ya problem

If you email GW customer services (not today, as they are closed untill monday) and say your box came without instructions they will email you a .pdf version.

Assuming you've already clipped the parts from the sprue, you could use these images to try and work out which foot is which.

If you've already cut them all out of their sprues and mixed them, it may be tricky. Each sprue is a single wolf, so the feet on a sprue matches the wolf on that same sprue.

They are very well fitted, I didn't use any instructions and it was pretty easy to see which foot fitted on which leg. They are all keyed differently and also the fur itself slightly covers the feet differently, so when you get the correct foot on the correct leg it's pretty obvious.

If you've cut out all 3 wolves and mixed their parts, it could be trickier, as each foot now has 12 possible legs it could go on to, and at least one of the wolves has an extra foot (so you can make it look more robotic) so you'll have a left over foot as well.

I was actually rather impressed with this kit. It fits together wonderfully. My only complaint was the heads of the wolves, the way they did it with 3 pieces means you end up with a tricksy join line that needs to be cleaned up with greenstuff (not liquid greenstuff, 2 part greenstuff). The rest of the models are great, I was impressed how they chose the positions of both joins and mould lines so that the models fit together brilliantly and you are left with no seams that need to be filled (except on the aforementioned head) and also you could leave most the mould lines on and they aren't obvious.

Despite being large models in several pieces for each wolf they were quite quick to assemble because of how well they fit together and how well the seams and mould lines are hidden. I can see how it'd be slightly more annoying if you clipped everything out of all 3 sprues before assembling, I guess I was lucky that I noticed each sprue was it's own wolf so dealt with each sprue individually so I didn't get the parts mixed up.
