I got the rest of all the blackwatch gulch figures assembled over the last couple weeks.
the Serenity crew were especially frustrating to assemble..the small hands on the doc were separated at the wrist instead of the elbow..which just didn't leave enough material to pin. none of the arms or hands had nibs to help attach with all were flat cuts.
the feet weren't really attached to the slot bases..they were raised off on these very thin stalks that were more star shaped then round or square..so had to drill them all as well the shotgun on the back of Jayne wasn't keyed at all so had to try and file slot to glue to.
They're done but took alot more time to clean and assemble then all the rest.
Indiana Jones is ok but I ended up bending reshaping the whip so it touched the hat and the back of the sleave as well as his hand..I think it still looks ok and with 3 contact points shouldn't break so easily.
The rangers were better and got them all assembled except the civil war gun which I can't see assembling till its all painted so thats what I'm working on. The base is finished and just need to paint the metal over the black basecoat, do some metalic highlights(probably dry brush) then glue it down to the base.
