Post subject:  How to put together the Great Beast of Gorgoroth
I know what a bad rep the Great Beast of Gorgoroth has regarding its finecast misalignment problems, and rightly so, but I made a video to show that it isn't as daunting as some perhaps think to get this sorted and looking good. The video is a bit slow and methodical (read boring) and aimed at beginners, but if just one person finds it helpful then I will have succeeded. :)

Part 1 goes over the tools required, box contents, and beast assembly.

Part 2 covers the Howdah construction.

Part 3 covers the crew attachment.

I'm one of those people. I dont really use greenstuff that often and when I do I hate it :P. With the reputation of the Great Beast I was really hesitant to get one. Now I feel more confident to tackle those defects if it ever shows up again. Thanks!

Bless you, sir! I have two of the buggers to put together (one significantly more warped than the other) and this will make it much easier to figure out! :)

I fortunately got a good version, 10minutes of heating up and it was fine.

You were heating it for 10 minutes? What were you using to do that?
Thanks for the encouraging comments chaps. It's good to know that it was worth taking a long time to say, as old Treebeard would say. :)
Glad you found it useful. Part 2 will probably be up next week.

Imagine buying anything else that you had to fix before use? Guys, it is a bit ridiculous. Anyway, good luck UKFB and I will not be getting one of these unless GW manage to fix FailCost and wise up about pricing.

Just a bump to say part two is online now. The link is in the first post. Those who get that far will notice an editing error about one minute from the end, but I'm not about to wait another 20 hours to re-upload it! Part 3 will be up in a couple of days.

Heh, you're not the only one, Kev. I had planned to paint my two up by month's end. Here we are, 18 days in and I've only got the flash and mold lines done. Just on the Beasts, not even on the Orcs!

Man, you're such a perfectionist :P

I really don't have the patience to swap the spear, pin the orcs and putty that bow end.
I will give it a try though, afterwards I always wish I did spend some more time on the assembly.

Once again, thanks for posting!

You're welcome. It is nice to know it was worth the effort to help someone out. I have to be a perfectionist because people pay me to assemble their models for them.
