Two more to add to the fleet!

It looks both easy and really good looking, well on the paint job.

Build took hours and that was without removing mold lines or green stuffing. Not hard, but so ridiculously many pieces!

Magnet wise- needed four to hold the two halves together, pins for the top weapons, a magnet to swap the sarlaac/spore launcher. Good fun overall.

Painted with a large drybrush on almost everything but the platey bits

Oh yeah forgot, of course you will want to magnet the weapons also. Great to hear I will be magnetizing mine when I get it so nice that it's easy even if takes time. I will be seing if I can magnetize in a way so that I get A mucolid as well. Thank you for the answer.

Surprisingly sturdy! I've dropped it a few times, and it's held up. Only superglued to the base. Really happy with how sturdy it seems, and transporting it in halves should be easy.

I didn't magnetise my weapons- just have them pinned with a paperclip and only glued to the Cyte. The weapons slide on and off

I made a hole in the bottom of the Spore mine launcher so the weird star tongue thing would fit under it. I love the model. It looks so awesome with my swarm. Gonna have one airborne and use the tentacles from that one to make Mucolids

Can I ask how you painted the flesh bits of the model? Did you use a medium brown wash over a light base coat and then highlight with a light beige?
