WGA needs to get serious about providing some basic INSTRUCTIONS for their sets. A month ago, Max McD replied to another req for instructions, saying he was working on that... if they've been created, they are well hidden. Obviously, when the sets are designed, the Designer has some idea how the parts should go together. Surely those design notes are saved somewhere! Some kits even have some parts labeled with part numbers. Come on, guys! How difficult can it be to put some notes into a PDF? Hire a summer intern with some graphic design training! This should be a required item on the Design Checklist before a set is released.
I know, many if not all of us, the customers of WGA, are kitbashers who are going to use those parts in our own way anyhow. But still, some clue of the Designer's intent for the various bits would really be helpful. Say a sprue has 6 torsoes, and 10 sets of arms. You know the Designer created arm pairs to go with a particular torso, or maybe 3 of the 6. Why keep that info a secret?
Currently I am trying to figure out The Damned Heavy Weapons sprue. We have 3 tripods, and 5 guns. OK so far. How do those shields go on? What's with the little saddle pieces? Where does that wiggly cable go?
Lacking any help from WGA, maybe we the Forum members should come up with our own plans. If you have some helpful ideas/photos/sketches, post them here.
I haven't even touched the Artillery sprue yet.
