Ah man, I want one so bad!

I'll assume though that after the preorders close, no more will be sold?

Hey - I like the Woola :). Gotta see the movie the next days. I didn't know you were involved.

I almost got the feeling with the 3rd picture that I could push the skin on the side of the T.rex and it would slide over the muscles like real hide. Very nicely done, I'm super stoked to receive my own!

I would like to mention if anyone is having their model built and painted for them by their artist of choice it would be prudent to have their piece shipped directly there as I am doing...could help with shipping fees. :)

Is it worth my gently pointing out that, as I am presently unable to have one of my own, I would consider it an honour to paint one up for anyone who cares for it? ;D

Does the 1/40 Rex need to be trimmed and/or sanded before it can be assembled?

What's the best glue to use to put it together?

Judging by David's pics it will little to no sanding ..it might need a tiny bit of putty.

You could use just about any brand of super glue to assemble.

Thanks. Would the putty be for filling in edges/cracks?

Yes. On a model that looks to be so crisply cast as this one that should be it.

Instead of cyanoacrylate glue aka "super glue", you could also try 5-minute epoxy which you can find at your local dollar store (I use a brand called "Adhaero"). The advantage is that epoxy is very thick and can work even on large, uneven surfaces. CA glue is very liquid. Thus, it works best on flat, even surfaces. Judging from the pictures though, the parts on David's kit look like they fit very well. You'll have to judge for yourself when you receive the kit. In my opinion though, 5-minute epoxy is the ideal choice for larger surfaces. I only use CA glue for small pieces like broken spikes, etc.

Thanks guys. I have used Gorilla Glue in the past on dinosaur model kits, but they kept falling apart. ??? That's kinda why I gave up on assembling model kits. But this 1/40 T-Rex has inspired me to try again with them.

GORILLA GLUE? ON MODELS? *AAAAAARGH* (Runs screaming into the woods)

Seriously, though, the best instant glue is Bondini, it will even fill cavities (ie does NOT requite two absolutely smooth surfaces to work).

You can get it here, but get make sure you get the gel to avoid runs:

http://imglued.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=9

I would much rather you try that out before going to a 2-part epoxy. That can get real messy and I definitely would not recommended learning how to use it on a kit like this one!

There is almost no sanding needed at all. Maybe filing down the end of the keys for a super tight fit would be needed, depending on the individual cast. The seams are really tight. A very small amount if putty, and I mean small could be used. I'm curious too see if painting it would get rid of the seam! I put this model together in minutes.

I use gap filling medium viscosity super glues such as Mercury adhesives, Hot stuff, Jet, Zap. In England I'm not sure but you should be able to find Loctite Super Glue Easy Brush and Gorilla glue does make super glues also. It should be the thicker stuff. A bottle of accelerator is recommended also since the thicker glues take a little longer to set up (a good thing) and the accelerator will allow you to wait less. Thicker super glues will also glue things together such as wood, resins, styrene, metal, vinyl figures (Papo, CollectA, Safari, etc.) Accelerator works well in these situations.

You can also pin it for more durability.
