Working my way through my battlepod assembly, I took a break to try a couple of the Valkaryies.
Any advice on the multiple arm pieces? A diagram to say which lower arm/gun assemblies go with which shoulder pieces perhaps?
I played around with some dry fits, but other than one hand on the gun/one pointing/or in a fist...I wasn't liking how the pieces fit together.

There is a chart on here. Not sure where. But I have found out the closer arms to the guns are the ones you use for them.

I'm not sure how you are doing it, but I've seen a lot of people on here who remove all the parts from the sprue at once. Don't do this with the Battloids and Guardians. The arms are on the sprue in correlation to the parts they go with. The diagram above shows this. When I build a battloid and get to the arms, I pick the arm set I want, then cut the forearm pieces off and assemble them. Next I remove the upper arms from the sprue and attach them to the lower arms. If you've chosen the matching uppers and lowers there is a "proper" may they fit.
Finally, depending on a 1 or 2 handed gun, I either attach the gun to the right or left arm. Then attach the arms to the body.
I timed myself on one of the last Battloids I build and it took me 13 minutes, so the process works.

As did I. My wife and I had a "clip and bag" party and un-sprued the whole Battlecry set + extras, in one evening. I'll probably end up regretting it, but it hasn't caused any huge issues with the destroids I've worked on, so-far.

I'm lurking this site before I really start building...finding lots of useful info such as this. Thank you! |
