(head/arms/weapons etc) then assemble, and tidy up with more layers afterwards, but with this model, with him being so large, i'm going to be using a fair amount of green stuff so ensure any mold lines or gaps are gotten rid of. so my inital thoughts were to assemble the mechanical legs and body, and the torso/arms and undercoat them seperately, but then i will have to use GS over the top of the undercoat. just wondering what you guys do when assembling large models like this.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593765/6801192.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593765/6801192.page GMT soul grinder modelling/painting advice. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593765/6801287.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593765/6801287.page GMT soul grinder modelling/painting advice.

I found the easiest thing to do was to assemble the lower lower chassis seperately from the upper tosor and arms. Even after painting, I've kept them seperate for storage reasons. The two pieces fit together pretty snugly. I think that will give you enough access to all the parts you need to paint.



aye thats what i've got at the moment.. , however, when i place them together, the piston/tendons that go from the side of his torso to the chassis dont quite fit without a small gap. this is a problem as this is a display piece, and i want it to be perfect. i think im going to paint the 2 parts seperately, then join them together, green stuff the gaps, over the paint, then finish it up once its dry.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593765/6801465.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593765/6801465.page GMT soul grinder modelling/painting advice. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593765/6801498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593765/6801498.page GMT soul grinder modelling/painting advice. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593765/6801655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/593765/6801655.page GMT
