anyone else find the conquest norman cavalry and foot soldiers Extremely fiddily???

I swear I am having a very hard time getting the arms to sit right. It took a looong time to assemble just 12 foot soldiers.

anyone else have a hard time with these? any tips?

I've not had a problem with them. Take some blue tac placed on the end of a small stick or other long thin tool and pick up small plastic parts using the blue tac to help positions any tight areas.

No problem at all. None with the conversions I did either.

Tamiya Extra Thin Cement is your friend; assembled two boxes without issue.

No problems, had 7 points for saga in about 6weeks. They came together just fine. Wait, did you rinse them in warm water first? I find that an enormous help.

uummm so it's just me then. in the end they look alright.

i did not wash them. maybe that will help.
maybe i need new glue.

anyway, i find them super difficult, especially when compared to GB plastics.

thanks for the replies.

It has been a while since I built mine, but IRC, it did take a couple of models before I really got the hang of getting the arms correct; after that it went very smoothly.
