I drilled the mounting holes a little deeper but did not pin every arm. The stand fits between two legs, but mount the stand first.
I did it slowly, two arms at a time, working outwards. I allowed the two arms I had fixed to set firmly before doing the next two.

I did mine similarly to Greg with the exceptions that:
a) I didn't pin the holes or even drill them any deeper. Good positioning and enough superglue are actually enough for this job.
b) The base hole I did drill a bit further forwards but then I drill all of my holes anyway and tend to try and rebalance them to match the centre of gravity.
c) One spine was only half cast so I had to build a new one with green stuff. Actually this was very easy in this case as I could just fuse a tube of green stuff to the stem of the spine in a rough shape then carve it away to a point!
Best of luck with yours

I was putting the legs on in the wrong places. I blew up the picture on this site and had at last decent reference (SFOS book way too small.)
I drilled the top holes through the body and then inserted a wire through the hole thus giving me a long peg for the upper and lower legs. I then drilled out each leg to accept the wire. With glue and aching fingers, I fished 6 of the buggers today -- all that came in the fleet box. Man, what a chore. Does anyone every really field 6 Scouts.
OUCH

buy some kicker - it speeds up the drying process of glue - but please be careful dont have glue on your fingers when you do it!
