Silas
Step 1: Preparation | Step 2: Head | Step 3: Body
The body is pretty straightforward.
Step 1: The arms halves get in the way easily so it's best to glue them down first.
Step 2: Glue the left side to the back.
Step 3: Next the left side to the front.
Step 4: Now glue the right side to the front.
Steps 5 and 6: When I attach the right side to the back I have trouble holding the tabs together. This is a great place for tweezers!
Step 7: Glue the top of the body down. You can put glue on the tiny tiny tabs if you want but they are mostly for holding up the big one. I recommend holding the arms firmly against the sides to get the top to dome upwards a bit. This makes glueing the head on easier. If you have trouble getting the top to stick, use tweezers or a toothpick through the bottom to hold the tabs against each other.
Step 8: Last is the bottom of the figure. Try to get it as flat as possible so the figure can balance. Alternatively you could put some rice in the bottom before closing it or glue it to a penny.
Both pieces of the model are complete! All you have to do is glue the two "X"s together. I usually end up putting a little extra glue on the body and then blowing on it to help it get sticky. A hot glue gun might work better though.
Silas is now corporeal!
