Reaper\'s spider centaur - how would you pin it?

[Painfully]

I\'m really having a heck of a time trying to pin together Reaper\'s spider centaur (aka drider). The torso isn\'t the problem, but the four pairs of legs don\'t seem to leave much room for pins. So, has anybody else put these together? And how did you do it? I\'m thinking possibly at an angle, but the legs being right next to each other seem to make that tough to do.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I\'ve got one from Ral Partha, ages ago, that still remains as the only mini I can\'t for the life of me build. My next attempt at putting it together will include sawing the \"leg attachy part\" in half, making lines to hold a thin wire between each part of legs and then using a thin wire to pin/attach each pair of legs. And then putting the leg attachy part back together to sandwich all of the pins in place. The odds of this working seem to be better than regular pinning but we\'ll just have to see.

And by the way, this is a pretty extreme case but could probably work if nothing else does

Drider pinning

I recently assembled mine. First off, I bended the last and second pair of legs, to have them sorta radiating from the body. I drilled one hole on each of the pairs, just on top of the oval bump that supposedly fits the body, and then I drilled matching holes in the body itself.

If you are using superglue, you might want to drill TWO holes per pair of legs, located at the sides of the aforementioned bump, since that will give you better handling resistance.

This is, certainly, not an overtly difficult model to assemble, but I wouldn\'t recommend it to unexperienced modelers.

If you go to the Reaper MB they even posted a diagram when it was discussed.
