I recently received a shipment of Elysian Drop Troops from Forge World and am having an extremely difficult time putting the Drop Troopers' arms together. Even though each pair of arms has a corresponding number on the sprue to ensure a proper match, I am unable to get any of the arm combinations to line up and fit correctly. I've tried some gentle sanding and shaving/trimming the arms with a hobby knife, and heating up the arms (running under hot tap water) to try and bend the parts into shape, but nothing seems to make the arms line up and fit accordingly.

I was hoping there are some people here with experience assembling Elyisans to provide some input. Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated! They are beautiful models and I hate feeling so angry and frustrated when trying to put them together.

I built a whole army of Elysians. I'm sorry to say there isn't an easy answer. I used Locktight super glue gel to fill the gaps and green stuff in some extreme cases. Mostly I lined up the the hands and then did the filling at the shoulders. Check my gallery for a couple pics of the finished product.
