Title: Relthozan GA Vaxiss Assembly
Post by: Dakkar on November 14, 2015, 01:47:45 pm
Any guidance out there on assembling the Vaxiss? Not only is the above-front angle pic of little help, but I'm missing parts already, not sure what else beyond the front claws and the head-shield.

I have the wing-support pieces that the wing-petals attach to. But there's no clear way to join those to the shoulders beyond a massive pin-job. Am I missing something? Usually new Spartan kits fit together better then that...

What is the Vaxiss?  I could help, but I'm lost.

I suggest you contact Spartan Games Dispatch and ask for help... Particularly if you are missing bits.

It's the Relthozan Planetfall Leviathan:

Did you ever get the assembly on this beast figured out, Dale?

First, get a hammer.  This is very important.  Then, lay all the pieces out neatly in front of you.  Then, and this is the critical part, smash the pieces with the hammer until none is any larger than 1mm across.

"Magnets!"

Seriously, there's NO WAY those joints actually plug in and glue. So I'm using a magnet attachment so I can easily remove and stow the wings.
Now if only I could figure a way to actually fold the wings like a paper-fan...

You wish...

And my urge to field the 3-Leviathan List at Adepticon only grows...
