Assembling the New Spirit Hosts!

[polybus]

I just started assembling this new Spirit Host kit and it is very frustrating. It is hard to tell where the pieces are supposed to line up. I feel a video is needed to explain exactly where each part should be glued but I'm pretty sure nobody has made one.

At least it's plastic, I guess, so might be able to get away with a few mistakes.

I built a couple for my Casket. They're certainly fiddly.

Yeah, just finished. One of arm pieces snapped simply by trying to separate from the sprue. Fortunately it was just some extra flarey bit of it so it came out all right without it.

I unfortunately have one that looks like its facing the opposite direction to the other two, must have got it twisted somewhere, the instructions were poor. Very fiddly indeed.

check the leaflet and build them step by step. don't do like me and cut all the parts then try to assemble and yes they are very flimsy but the end result is worth it

One of my hosts broke off and trying to glue it back where it was, was a huge pain. Gave up on painting for the rest of the day.

That's the price we pay for such a cool looking model

The trick with the spirit hosts is take it slow....VERY slow get the joints you need to glue perfectly right and then wait for that to dry and then move on

Love the tips and heads up guys, starting on this kit soon and it looks a bit fiddly. Gladly mine's still stuck on the frames.
