Anyone elsehas so much trouble as I have with the tuareg? I Kind of gave oup now with a somewhat accepable position that I will fix witch some Millput. I had some problems in the past for all with other female models but I think that is the worst one by far. Quite sad when I imagen some beinner troubeled with that model...
We had a whole thread for this model in the old forum, about the assembly issues with this model. In short, you are not alone. And believe me, I sweared the f...k out of me, during assembling.
Strangely my Tuareg wasn't too bad (although the scope doesn't quite line up with her face). But man-bun Ghulam was an absolute nightmare for me. I must've spent a good hour at least over three sittings trying to get him together.
Well, I had some problems with him too. As of Tuareg, she's waiting for me to gather my spirit and do a hand-swap...
That's the best I managed You can see the yellow millput. My Problem is alsonthat I only glue arms after painting so I am much more dependend on a good and easy fit.
Yea, this is the model that convinced me to finally buy green stuff. It's beautiful, but almost impossible to get just right.
You should realy try Millput it is far better to work with and you can smothe it out with some whater and a latex brush.
The first red veil I got she was a nightmare. I eventually gave up and converted her with the arms from the ghulam doc. The second went together like a dream.
I felt like the arm just wasn't right and I would need to bend it - however I allready had painted it. So now I'm wondering if that in fact is true?
Please join me to hear my sad story. When I first started playing Infinity, I had a Tuareg Sniper girl that towered above most other figures, gaining the Nickname Valkirie. Unfortunately, she took her name too seriously and attempted to ride into Valhalla several times. I swear, her arms have been attached to my fingers longer than to her body. Years later I buy my brand spanking new Red Veil Starter wich brought a NEW Tuareg Sniper Girl and I just couldn't resist. After all, things had improved in Infinity since the olden days of ball and socket connections... Alas, CB is a company of Traditions!!! and the new one was just as nightmarish to assemble as the old one.
@Danger Rose Well, at least the first one didn't try to ride someone else with her, like her namesakes would definitely have tried.
CB uses a pewter with a small amount of lead content (3-6% IIRC), this means it holds detail very well and is less brittle than lead-free pewter, but it does sometimes bend during production/packing/shipping. I have been known to bend arms back into shape using padded pliers before, I found I got the RV Tuareg easily assembled after filing down her boobs a little.
