Does anybody here have this werewolf mini, and if so, did you put it together yourself? (The howling on the top row)

The reason I ask is that the head has a long rectangular pin on it, were it should be attached to the body. Since the surface of the head is concave, and the pin is quite thick, I am wondering how to get this fixed.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Can you just use a pin vice with a bit larger than the pin and a fair amount of glue? Without actually holding it it's hard to know for sure

Just file or clip the current pin away (maybe it's just a leftover bit from casting?) and then get a pin vise/power drill and a paper clip for a new neck pin. PRESTO ! ! ! Instant New Spine!!!

Well, I have got it, but didn't put it together myself.

I know this doesn't help much, but there you go.

Oh, and it looks pretty cool with a couple of the old space marine shoulderpads glued on, they fit nicely too. (Again, I didn't do this myself, a friend of mine blu-tacked them on).

Well, that's enough of being useless for one day, maybe I should go reply to a topic where I can actually answer the question properly.....

Ok, that would be a much better answer than mine

I wish you luck. I've been after that mini for years. Its not available in the North American Archive Models section.

It isn't available on the internet shops, no, but if you take the code from the solegends link I posted and give GW a ring, you can order it.

The pin is rectangular and quite strong too, at least a mm thick and several mm wide. Also, the surface (head-body contact) is not flat, is it concave (concave is hollow, right?) making it impossible to file the pin of.

No new ideas?

I've tried! Its just not available to North America for some reason.

Next time I'm in the UK I'll give it a shot.

Hmmm... well that's a bit@h. Can you get a pic of it up? I'm a firm believer that almost anything can be snipped off, but if removing the offender truly isn't a viable option then maybe making room for it & drilling out a suitable resting area is the only alternative. And last but by no means least... there's always the Greenstuff turtleneck approach. Use it as a buffer to fit the 2 together and then maybe build it up into a mane?

come over to my place redf .. I got files and a pin vice ... and .. a dremel

I solved it last week. I suddenly remembered I was working at a Lab were they make their own instruments for measurements under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. They had some nice electric instrument here; pin was off in no time...

Thanks all

Reaper minis has two great ones for use a were's. One is a gnoll warrior. A quick snip of the sword and he's beautiful...the other is a zombie werewolf...complete with hanging flesh and muscle, holding up half a sdeleton in a gorgeous pose. I'm painting now

Are those still available? Anyone know the part number? I couldn't find them online. But I already like the sound of them.
