I've picked up Legion mk. 3 Battlebox and I'm assembling and priming the models and I cannot work out how the Nephilim Bolt-Thrower is supposed to fit together and be painted. I think if I'm just super forceful I'll be able to get the elbow/wrist joints to stick together, but a bunch of angles look like they'll be impossible to paint gracefully once he's put together. Is this a 'get good, scrub' scenario or is the Bolt-Thrower a notorious piece-of-glass-lodged-in-the-urethra of modeling?

There was a particular angle that was best and I think I used a rotating motion but once that was done it was a very good fit. I suggest looking on YouTube there were allot of reviews of the battleboxes and how they fit together perhaps that will be helpful for you. |

You can also warm the pieces with a hair dryer or heat gun and they get really bendy. Arrange however you like. I managed to make an upright titan this way.

Whenever I have plastic models that are like this, I boil some water, pour it into a thick plastic cup, then dunk the pieces of the model that don't quite fit well in for 30 - 60 seconds usually (gets the bits good and bendy) then dry-fit them together. Once they fit together, I run the bits under cold water to set the model in it's current pose. |
