Corpse Cart?!?!!?!?!?!?!!

[Larenthian]

Sorry if there is a thread for this already but I have a problem.... Im trying to put together the corpsecart from the battalion box and I dont know what sort of shifty gypsy magic is required to assemble it but I can't seem to do it for the life of me! I cant seem to get the pile of bodies stay in the cart while I glue the sides on! I dont even plan on running one, its just a really cool model!

How much have you assembled? I'd glue the bodies to the cart without the rib cage'ish sides then put the sides on after you've painted the bodies.

I would dry fit it though using poster tac or other similar material could help dryfitting the parts together

Yeah... that model requires a bit of force to hold things in place and the order in which you put the pieces together can make a huge difference. What have you done so far/ have you got some photos?

 

[Larenthian]

Oh no! I Already glued the Rib Cage in!

Here's a Pic:

As a note it isnt glued to the base yet.

Edit: Trial and Error on the while Image thing

Yeah I did the same, you just have to be kinda forceful and push it in really. You can bend a few of the limbs out of the way as you go but it doesn't help too much. Just be careful not to snap the ribcage off (and make sure you have the bodies around the right way as if you don't, they won't fit in any which way you try)

Ok, Thanks! Ill just fiddle with it for the time being. Ill let you guys know when I finally get it assembled and, god help me, painted.

If absolute worst comes to worst, a few snapped pieces of wood would actually look quite authentic...

I did exactly the same as you, I cut off two legs to get it in place but once you do it fits rather nice but it's hell of a puzzle the legs can be glued on after or left off both looks authentic enough

This is a pain in the ass. no matter how good an idea it seems at the time do not join the the sides of the corpse mound together. This way you can fiddle and weave the two gaggles of limbs through either side of the carts "ribs" separately.

Once you have them seated in the cart glue the join at center and weld the two halves together. If you are feeling daring pre-glue the parts before fiddling with them (just mind the paint) and seat them then.

Ah nice to see GW have kept things nice and easy. I am looking to put mine together tomorrow.

Did yours come with instructions if not I can scan mine in for you and post them here.
