    aNicodem... How the heck...

    I have my aNicodem all painted up but I cant seem to get him assembled. No matter what I try he either topples over, comes out crooked, or things dont line up. Whats the best way to get the chair on top of the zombies and level?

    I put the final assembly together for Mydnight on his aNicodem. It wasn't easy but there are a few tricks you can do. You need to work out a assembly plan before you start glueing which either means temp glueing, or using blue tack to get a feel for how it has to go together. Once you have an assembly plan in place you need to glue one into place and let it set. Be careful with that one because it will form the basis of all the other assembly.

    Once that one is solid revisit your assembly plan and see what has to change to make it work. Then work on glueing the diagonal zombie into place so that you have two opposing pillars of support. Once that one is set, you need to again revisit the plan and see if anything need to change to keep the balanced.

    I needed to re-adjust the zombies all 1 or two times, and drill new holes into the base to allow for better pin placement in the feet of the zombies. I had to break support points once or twice on almost all the zombies till I got it right, then once the whole thing was together I got my paints out and touched up the paint damage cased by the re-glued areas and it was down.

    Took a few hours but I was watching something at the same time so.

    Let me know if that was helpful or if there is any other advice that would be helpful.

    Yeah I was afraid there wasn't an easy "how to" with this avatar.
