Hierophant assembly guide

Step 6 continue...( Bending resin) (pic19)

- Your legs should look more like this. You will need to do a bit of tweaking at the front legs too. Make sure the phant is standing on a hard flat service so you can line up all the legs.

Step 7 (Spikey Bits) (pic20) & (pic21)

- I started pinning the spike to the body. There are 62 of these spikes and i spent 2 hours pinning 22 of these to the body. I spent 30 minutes on the floor looking for dropped spikes!

Important - make sure keep your work area very clean and uncluttered. Makes finding dropped spikes easier.

- Some of the tiny spikes require tiny pins. You may think this is overboard pinning such tiny pieces but its a gaming piece and if it wasn't pinned you can guarantee they'd come off. Its worth putting the extra effort in.

- Using tweezers helps with the tiny spikes as such a small piece, fingers and superglue isn't a good combination!

-Each of these spikey bits is pinned!!! Takes forever!

Step 8 ( Greenstuffing ) (pic22) & (pic23)

- Greenstuffing is required to hide gaps and joins, and even rework pits and holes from a poor a cast.
All you need to do is mix some blue and yellow putty together, then take the greenstuff and wack it in a gap. Using a wet tool smooth it off. Once its cured (dry/hardened in 3-4 hours) you can sand/file it smoother further.

- In the pics 22 and 23 you can start to see areas that needed greenstuffing.
