i glue on the legs, toso parts and the head but leave the arms, shoulderpads, and back pack off so that i can get to the detial of the model and not have to worry about getting paint where i dont want it

@Warpetrie I tend to put a pin in the arms so I can slide them on easily after assembly but for the purpose of this tutorial I kept it simple.

i remember when i started with gw models 9 years ago i didnt have a clipper so i just "ripped" the parts off with my hands :( and spinning the parts so that they break off the sprue...

@Johnni23 Yup, I was a twister, and didn't use a decent pair of clippers until a couple of years ago, then I wondered why I never had and how much less frustrating my many, many years of prior modelling could have been. - Mike

I can see this video being really useful for someone who's just getting into the hobby. :)

@Vehementi Cheers, If i've helped one parent help their child assemble a model, i'm happy. - Mike

Finding this video made my day, I have gotten many people to start 40k, and this makes my life easier now that I can refer them to this video to teach them, as I don't have enough time to sit down with each person to show them. Great job, keep up the good work!

Hahaha, your a emo, stop playing with models and cut yourself again

Funny story. So I too am an experienced modeler. I was watching this vid to kinda check out your channel and what not and I was removing some excess bits from a used Lehman Russ I picked up. I must have heard you say be careful, dont cut yourself, etc etc at least 5 times. And what do I do? I was even cutting away but as the glue broke the knife tip went right into my finger, and nicked a heavy vein. So as I wrestled between dripping blood, headphones, and my cat, I missed the last 7 minutes :(
