MetalEarth Templar Knight
Made a start - Left leg & foot
Left leg complete
Both legs complete
Lower limbs fastened to base - needed quite some persuasion to get everything aligned
not enough fingers to hold the helmet together & manipulate the tab inserts...

was able to tighten the ziptie as i inserted more tabs
helmet completed
chest completed - this is ONE piece
when finishing tabs, i used some plastic tubing to protect the painted surfaces, one one jaw of the pliers
chest & head joined - why does this make me think of "just a flesh wound" ?!?!?!?
COULDN'T RESIST this display at the club Xmas BBQ meet...........lol
All belted up
Right shoulder preparation - The instructions would have had the tabs all point OUT - I went for the secret tab & eye method, and pointed all the eyes IN, and Tabs IN too, at about 45 degrees...
All secret tab/eyes completed - sorry the photo doesn't show it better
The result on the important side...
Starting to close the upper arm/shoulder.
Using the dowel helps to keep shape and prevent over-bending
