The Citadel Giant- We can rebuild him...

That is a singularly ambitious, and incredibly successful project. Well done! The magnetized head swap is genius. And the fact that you can make it work and it pretty well doesn't show makes that a spectacularly well sculpted beast of model. Bravo!

Many thanks.

The thing that stands out to me the most is his arrival state to now. A tad bid of elbow grease and a heck of a lot of degreaser, vinegar and other stuff to get it to the bare metal.

Then the legs? They were a pain to get to line up and required a lot of pinning and green stuff but once I got it right? It’s actually able to stand upright without the base and not tip over. I say this but for a pat on the back but the fact it was not easy to get it to balance right.

Inspired by your efforts, I've begun to essemble my own, totally concur with your assessment of the legs to fit the stand, once the glue had set, quite a lot a green stuff needed to fill the gaps.

Yep. The left leg is particularity bad in terms of the joint. If you try to align it? The whole thing would tip backwards. Also- looks like you have the two-piece lower torso? If so? Nice. Mine was the full one and a bear to try and strip the paint off.

Ah, I stuck the left leg first, then applied glue to the right and then positioned the lower torso on the base, wedging it in place and left it until the glue had set, then discovered how things had set and set-to with the green stuff.
Yes, I have the two piece lower torso, the upper torso is quite loose and will need careful wedging to hold it in place whilst the glue sets.

For that I did three pins. On in the very middle above the buckle (for orientation) and one on each side as it were. That coupled with the lip in the inside made it fairly snug.

This deserves its own call out.

While the model does have lot of detail. Well sculpted certainly does not apply to the arm and leg joints.
