I'm a weakling and it took me three tries doing it alone. I had to rest the leg pegs on my knees as I lifted the parts up then got lucky fitting it in the base. I have brusies all over my legs and chest from putting it together. When I carried the base up the stairs the Driller blades in the base left indents in my hands for hours.

I'm still absolutely wrecked from this statue. I plan on taking it apart and moving it over the next week. When I get him to where he needs to be I'll take a few more next to my Megatron's. Unless you are crafty like Chavez which I'm not this piece needs a pedestal and a moducase which is my ultimate plan next year once I get my LK Megatron. I don't even want to know how many pieces Jetform Prime is going to be.
Yeah, I’m lucky enough to have taught myself cabinetry. It’s really goes with this territory of collecting and displaying. Lol.

And that’s exactly right, legs and torso too much weight. Kinda sucks as I wanted to have this done. My son is 18, but my wife never has him do anything and I can’t get him to do anything without him not doing it right or getting into a fight because he would rather play video games. :thinking So I’m stuck with having to call a friend. lol.

Still got a bunch of pieces. But here what I got so far . Been drinking as I build so it’s not going very fast.


Post final pics tomorrow.


This piece is epic!
