However, not being terribly experienced in the use of Resin, I'm looking for a little advice about this kit. From what I remember, the Lash Whips for the kit are supplied straight, and you need to put them in warm water to bend them into more organic shapes. This I should be okay with, but it's the rest of the kit I'm worrying about. For example, are the legs brittle? It's likely to see a fair amount of action in large multiplayer games, and if the Legs need serious care when it's in use, I think I'll skip. Likewise, how tricky was/is it to get all four claws properly on the ground to make it stable?

These are my immediate concerns, and what I'm really looking to be advised upon, but if I have missed anything, or there is something else about the kit I should consider, please include!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1297872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1297872.page GMT http://kan.org/michael/mkp/tyranid_hierodule.php

Overall, my first experience with Forgeworld resin was pretty good. It was more flexible that I expected and pinning the load bearing legs was pretty easy.

If I had to do it again, I'd use a clear plastic rod as a 3rd leg to support some of the chest weight, not that I think it needs, it but more for additional stability 'just in case']]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1297883.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1297883.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298084.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298084.page GMT Just take your time, lay everything out properly and don't get scared cutting into the £££ of resin.

This was my bible when I assembled mine a few weeks ago!

I left out the lashwhips as they are just too flimsy. I had considered attaching the ends to brass rod and GSing around them.

I didn't cut/reinforce the legs as in the guide but pinned them securely to a solid 14" base.

If you have any questions feel free to disscuss here or PM me if you get into trouble.

Hope this helps.

P.S Enjoy pinning the spikes! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298139.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298139.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298169.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298169.page GMT Best to put the effort in now i reckon.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298171.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298171.page GMT
Slightly less daunted by the beasty now, but I think I might just go for the one, rather than the three I had been contemplating....

Oh, and I think I'll tell the individual spikes to stuff off.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298211.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298211.page GMT GWs ruined building to use as a stand. So in the end it will look as if he is stepping over a ruined building while a bunch of marines are battling a ton of rippers. I have about 100 or so rippers and want to get about a 100 more and literally have a wave of them eating the marines]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298322.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298437.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/276904/1298437.page GMT
