Hello all,

I'm finally getting around to assembling my plastic "Escape from Goblin Town" Dwalin mini.

He has three components:

(1) Dwalin's main torso, head, legs

(2) Dwalin's arms and hammer

(3) Dwalin's axes, which go on his back.

Attaching (3) to (1) is pretty easy, as there is a little circular peg on the axes that slots into a hole on Dwalin's back. However, I can't attach (3) to (1) until I attach (2) to (1).

Attaching Dwalin's arms to his torso is a bit tricky. The arms do not fit neatly over his head. I am afraid of being too rough and breaking the mini, so I thought I'd look here for advice before assembling.

Does anyone else who has assembled/painted this mini have any advice?

I included a pic below. Please ignore the Gandalf components to the left.

Thanks!

It's been a long time since I assembled my Dwalin, but I have a faint memory of it being fiddly! I can't remember any particular trick other than just very careful manoeuvring the arms over his head. Eventually they should get there!
