Another "long time since posting" warning.
A while back someone asked about the dimensions of the Coyote walker from Warlord Games, so I dug out the similar Jackal jump walker.
And then I put it away again.
Well now I have started its assembly.
I decided some parallel construction would save time so pinned and greenstuffed the legs to the front body. While that was setting, I added the arms to the rear body (there are some balance issues to the completed figure). When they were set, I glued them together.
Unfortunately this has led to two problems:
First it is not possible to add the thruster vents to the legs (the arms are too close).
Second, there is a gap requiring filling down one side and at the top.
Not insurmountable, but annoying (it would have been easier to fill it I had left the arms off.).
Now, to find those Westwind paratroopers.
