Building The Minis

I assembled the mini's today so they could dry overnight before priming and eventual painting.  The tanks were fantastic -- pop the body on the turret, cement it down, feel a smug sense of accomplishment.

The 'Mechs are another story.  Just opening up the blister and taking out the pieces I feel lost.  It is taking a great deal of close examination and referencing pictures of the miniatures online at CamoSpecs and other sites to get a definite view of what goes where on each model.  It doesn't help that some of them come with multiple configurations worth of weapons; it is pretty easy to tell a PPC from a Gauss Rifle in the artwork, less so squinting at a piece of pewter the size of my smallest fingernail.  Even so, I've assembled the bipeds at this point, and just need to do the Sirocco to have the minis ready for action.

That's assuming the arms don't break off the Warhammer again.
