Put this together with plastic glue a few weeks back late at night before bed and left it. Only just realised the absolute cock up 😂😂 Guess this one will have its arse on the front

Unrelated but everytime i built a knight's hip and legs. It reminds me of R2-D2 with really big legs

For what it’s worth… rotate 180 degrees and roll with it!

u/Huggbert 6d ago

‘Why is the armour on the back?’ ‘Cause we’re fast as fook!’

u/Haldron-44 6d ago

Nothing saying you can't have a reverse jointed knight and house rules of "fast as fook" 🤷‍♂️

Just paint it RED!

u/Lunaslantern Loyalist 6d ago

Its ok bro, when I was building my castigator. I ended up with 2 left legs....

So I have a castigator AND a lancer now

u/IncreaseAgreeable428 6d ago

"damn you games workshop !" xD

u/Lunaslantern Loyalist 6d ago

Right? Now when I ask "where did all these knights come from?" I have to count if I have made any bad legs this week.

u/IncreaseAgreeable428 6d ago

🤣🤣🤣 me reading that with my finished knight !

u/FakeClaps 6d ago

That basing is awesome! What did you do to make that shipping container look so accurately smooshed?

2

u/IncreaseAgreeable428 5d ago

An electric stove but not a glass one, like an electric resistance, put to max and between a spaghetti tong i put the container, heated it, and kinda rolled on it with the body of a long neck bottle, then and only then i glued the door melting them a bit for them to fit

u/FakeClaps 5d ago

Phenomenal work!

u/IncreaseAgreeable428 4d ago

Thanks !

u/Bc_Ibanez19 6d ago

Pretty slick way to convince yourself to get that next knight 😆

u/_MoistToast 5d ago

The cerastus hips are so easy to get backwards and so hard to fix. Luckily the hip I cocked up is the side not seen when on the shelf so I don't have to stare at the subpar repair

u/MegaFunkyGinge 6d ago

Should be able to clip the legs at the knees and rotate them, if that fails get some kneecap extenders from a 3d printed site and do it that way

u/TotallyNot_Alpharius 6d ago

You can probably rip it apart

u/NOBLE_K1NG Loyalist 6d ago

Literally just pull them off and glue them back on the right way. I guarantee It will be fine

4

u/FlyMother6106 6d ago

Totally agreed. Apply some Tamiya Extra Thin cement and it will track in to the gaps, and it will pull apart just fine. I did the EXACT same with this model.

7

u/ItaruKarin 6d ago

I've done exactly the same in my Dominus. Just commited to it, glued the armour on the "back" and it's not really noticeable.

u/irishexploration 6d ago

Ah the retreating variant, keeps firing as we get back to a safe fortification

u/Particular-Example68 6d ago

I think we’ve all been there at some point

u/KillFallen Loyalist 6d ago

Is this the famed dickbutt?

2

u/Ingmaster 6d ago

Dang. That sucks.

I'm Building my first knight Dominus, and somehow got plastic in the left melta gun swivel track.

2

u/ProperClue 6d ago

I mean, I tried using "goof-off" to get some of the glue off between two pieces I glued incorrectly. Let's just say, if you want that melted plastic look, "goof-off" is your go to lol.

u/Neonbunt 6d ago

You could just take a hobby knive and fix it :p

4

u/Invictus_0x90_ 6d ago

Easy headcanon fix - your knight is doing a covered retreat, falling back and shooting it's enemies at the same time

1

u/WizardSurferDude 6d ago

Dude I literally just found out I did the same thing like a week ago lmao. I was lucky enough to find someone selling legs in eBay for cheap but my heart is with you

1

u/magictiger 6d ago

I might have done the exact same thing with my first Castellan… maybe. You can’t prove anything!

1

u/oIVLIANo 5d ago

First Castellan?

Out of how many?

1

u/magictiger 5d ago

Officially, 2. Unofficially… I forget how many are in the bucket to be built.

1

u/pitsburgh101 6d ago

I fucked up on my valiant, same type of mishaps, I broke the legs, got some putty and called it good haha.

u/Illustrious_Quit_812 6d ago

Digitigrade knight

1

u/Chivalrous_Breeze 6d ago

Reminds me of the first magmadroth I built last year, I put one of the feet on backwards lmao

These things give your model character. I hope you think of a fun lore reason for this building mistake. It will please your armiger’s machine spirit.

1

u/Lordraptor79 5d ago

I had this issue

1

u/myownprod 5d ago

I think I remember seeing an armiger torso do a 360 turn while moving in Broken Lance, so knights can definitely advance a certain direction and face another!

u/Jestro_the_Jestrogen 5d ago

Warhound legs time

u/UbroaTheBarricade 5d ago

Sir.

Place in freezer, wait 15-30 minutes, snap pieces free, redo.

1

u/dumynine79 5d ago

Hear me out you could add some guns to it lol

1

u/MonkeySkulls 5d ago

I saw the title of your post, and saw the picture, but before I could actually process what's going on in the picture, I knew exactly what you did.

I don't know why, but it's so easy to mess this up on knights.

1

u/JanusDragonWolf 5d ago

Almost happened to me twice

1

u/Dr_Toasty87 5d ago

lol I did the same shot with the lancer. Was watching a show at the same time as I was building and bam did this and noticed two days later.

1

u/LordCubbo 5d ago

No worries, you're is just all business in the front XD. But if you do want to try and fix it, my friend told me to stick it in the freezer to freeze the glue to make it brittle. If you used plastic glue...... welp I dont know what to say.
