I can assemble the Veritech Valkyrie body fine. How do you assemble the Guardian mode arms where both hands are holding the gun. The original box instructions were no help, the new instructions tell you which parts to use, but I am still comfused. I can find pictures, but I still can't seem to get it right. There are no step by step pictures or videos available.

Very carefully?
Honestly, it's a matter of trial and error I think. My first couple I actually have the hand holding the barrel portion of the gun offset from where it's supposed to connect, just because I couldn't make it fit. I think I only got one to fit properly, but I also didn't look at the instructions and just ran with it. Even when they don't fit on properly, as long as they're attached they look fine (imo - obviously not to someone who needs them to be perfect, lol)

I actually got one set to come together last night. The peg portions which goes in to the sides of the torso I had to glued them slightly in. I trully hate these arms.

The peg cannot go all the way in, and you have to play around with them in order to find just the right angles.
Once you figure it out though, it starts to get easy.

There are free building pdf files on Drive thru RPG that will help with the correct arms.

The right arm really doesn't have a guild piece of plstic to make sure it is glued correctly. I believe it does so I go on what I think it is. The left arm has a guide so you can't glue it wrong. Even after gluing them the right arm seems to extend to far so the left hand wont match to the gun. I guess leaving them slightly out is the trick so far. |

I also had some trouble assembling those guardian arms, even using the pdf guides. In the end I had to force (bending a bit) the arms to meet each other and just wait for the glue to set.

What I've started doing is assembling the shoulders, arms, and dual-hold gun as a single C-shaped piece without it being connected to the torso, just eyeballing to make sure the pegs are as level as possible, and waiting for the glue to fully cure. Then if you're really careful (and depending on your brand of glue maybe), you can gently bend the shoulder pegs apart far enough that they'll fit into the holes. That they go in farther than fully necessary sort of facilitates this--by pushing one all the way in without gluing it, it gives you a little wiggle room on the other side.
This also gives you a little bit of leeway on which angle you put them permanently, though there's really not much room with the guardian mode.
