I have a Harridan!

[Talonis]

I knew they were big, but my god I didn't expect it to be this big! Opening the packet and seeing the size of the wings really blew me away!

Anyway those of you who have one, how was the best way to put it together? Is it possible to magnetize the wings? I'm a bit weary of the base it came with too, would a bigger base be something I should look into? And I also saw no way of attaching the base to the model. I might replace it with a rod of some sort ad drill a hole into the body for it to fit into.

Any help in assembly options would be appreciated

PIN! PIN EVERYTHING!!!!

*everything...*

I used hard drive magnets to allow taking the wings apart and put it on a trygon size base for more stability.

Got any photos?

I used 6" nails cut down with a grinder to pin mine. I also didn't glue the wings or tail on so its easy to transport.
Ow and remember if ur going to drill into the model forge worlds resin has carsanegenic dust so were a dust mask!

[riverzora]

I thought it was only the beige resin which is carcinogenic? The grey stuff should be fine... I know it's only the body of the Hierophant that's a problem.

[Talonis]

So it will hold if just pinned for removable wings then? I like this option and wished I did something similar for the hierophant, transports is a problem.
As for a mask, it's always better to be safe than sorry, so ill probably use one.

60mm and chance to see the base to if you get time?

All resin dust is potentially harmful (not necessarily carcinogenic, but still bad for you in other ways), but drilling generally does not produce much dust. It is sanding/filing that you should not do in your living room or without a dust mask...

Pinned joints can hold if done properly - specifically a deep, large pin set at an upwards angle, so that the pinned item partially rests into the socket in which it pins, rather than hangs down.

[riverzora]

Is the Harridan so large that it positively won't hold unless pinned? Only because I'm lazy is all

[robomummy]

a combo of pins, magnets, glue, and blind luck will help you get that thing put together. (I helped my freind build his, I feel your pain).

It's held together with the pins fine so far u just have to be cearfull if someone go's to pick it up tho they shouldn't be picking it up by the wings any way. I personally think it has to be pinned glue just won't be strong inuf to hold it. Hears a pic of my one now its finished.
The base is just a piece of board that I cut out and then used a router to get the edge nice you could bye a similar thing probably I just screwed the board onto the model.

I am looking at getting one in the future and am wondering what the Gargoyle clusters are all about...

It transports Gargoyles.

That's a very nice looking harridan
It's good you left the base free too so models can still move around below it if you so choose.

Here is my Harridan assembled and disassembled. I pinned and Magnetized the wings. Magnetized the tail section & Scything Talons.

Drilling the hole in the bottom was a very tedious project and I started with a 1/8" drill and went all the way up to 1/4" to use the acrylic rod.
