I picked up a Dwarven Gyrocopter from Games Workshop a couple of weeks ago, because the model looks great and I was getting a bit bored of painting the rank-and-file troops of my new army.

The main thing I can say about this figure is that the assembly is an absolute nightmare.  Two of the rotors attach to the third, which contains the "hub".  The hub is then attached to the drive-shaft.  There are also two landing-struts, the base-stalk, two parts to the tail, the pilot and his arm.

The only parts which attached and glued with no problem were the two for the tail-section, as the square sections fit snuggly into three sockets.  The rotor is by far the worst, as the glue-points are only about 3mm square, meaning a lot of weight on a small joint.

Luckily, I remembered that I have a drill-set that contains a set of five 1mm drill-bits, and I also have a small chuck from an old electric screwdriver.  I managed to accidentally snap one of the bits off straight away - they're quite brittle - and so this model is now held together with some nice little titanium pins.

There are pins joining the rotor to the hub, the hub to the shaft, the two runners to the chassis, the stand to the chassis, and the arm to the pilot.  This bugger isn't coming apart now!
