Tanker Bug

I've done that 5 times (2 Tanker, 2 Thornys and 1 King) and it's quite easy when you got the trick.
Basically you need something to lay the Torso upon. Then take the Torso with the already attached upper legs and mount the lower legs and the feet. After posing them begin to glue them one after the other. You should always wait until the glue has hardened before moving to the next leg.
I also strongly recommend to support them with GreenStuff or Modeling Putty (looks better and adds stability).
On a note the tankers upper and lower abdomen parts do not fit together very well - you need to file/cut away a bit of the lower abdomen rear end.
This is a problem that ALL tankers have but it isn't a big deal.

I found mine tough enough to get together right as well, I had to chop and change around with the legs, and even then it was not standing right, and I had to convert and model bits around.
I can realate dude, but it is good when it is finished and painted up, you'll be proud. Go here for more SST:

Oh I figured it out easy enough as I've put together many many different models and miniatures. It was just annoying when I had it almost all together and the abdomen pops apart and all the little legs fall out! I'm building this one as standard. I've got a second one coming in the mail and I'll do some converting on it.
