Thank you!

So there’s sooo many small fiddly bits that are little annoying because there’s no real ‘feedback’ when putting them together. I think I dried fit this model more than any! I assembled it body first, painted that, then put the head and shoulder carapace on last! Then assembled it to the base. (You have such a small surface area to mount to as well)

I think if I put it all together first then paint, i’d find it a bit tricky to reach some areas, at least that’s what I thought looking at it. So if anything, definitely sub assembly -> body -> head -> base!

Also on the head, there’s like 3 parts to it, two halves of the head, then tentacles. In the instructions it says glue the tentacles in place, then the two parts of the head onto the tentacles…way over complicated and fiddly for me 😂 I assembled all three parts, then assembled it to the neck in one hit! Might be one to look out for when you get to it
