Just4uCupCake Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I just recently purchased A fellblade from FW it is currently in the mail. I was wondering if anyone has every assembled one before and could provide useful tips. Thanks frater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav1892 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It's pretty straight forward to be honest it just needs a good amount of cleaning. The only thing I had any problems with was the building of the las cannon sponsons but other than that no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternus Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Trying to get the sides onto the damn thing was my problem, but a fair amount of patience, hot water, and green stuff after fixed that. Other than that, the tracks might give you grief. Be prepared for it to take a while, and you can always fix things after with gs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvilarium Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The tracks on my Falchion were an utter, utter pain in the rear end to assemble. They look OK now, but much cutting, hacking, bending, glueing and swearing loudly was involved. Prepare for frustration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariokan Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 EDIT : did not check the date of the original post, so sorry for necromancy. Anyway, what I say below might be useful to someone else. :) I have built both a Fellblade and a Spartan Land Raider. Simply put: assembly is a pain in the ass. Put each piece in position before glueing it. Get some precision files to reshape the pieces. If you have bent pieces (my Fellblade cannon was not straight, for instance...) use a hairbrush to heat the piece before very gently getting it right. Be sure your X-acto blades are very sharp but work slowly, the material is much more tricky than plastic. Pro-tip: if you have a pyro-cutter, it is very useful for cutting the biggest pieces. You might want to wear a mask if you do this. You'll probably have to fill in here and there with green stuff, too. Washing everything before assembly with soap is a good idea. Brushing the recesses that have "miscast powder" (you'll know what it is when you see it) with a toothbrush is a plus. I suggest not to glue the sponsons until painting is done (as well as the main turret, obviously). I magnetized them for transportation/painting/weapon destroyed purposes. When assemblying the sponsons, do not overglue them, the cannons are supposed to rotate horizontaly. The power cables linking the lascannons to the rest of the sponsons MUST be bent before glueing, so you can put them in hot water then, with pincers, bend them so that they'll connect correctly. Trust my on that, both the Fellblade and the Spartan have those Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Potato of Mankind Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Dry fit like crazy and have a hair dryer on standby for the inevitably warped quad-lascannons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
