A quick part of the build. Making the neck and then attaching this and the tail.

Photo 1 – The next part. It's a simple tube.

Photo 2 – The neck made up.

Note - before attaching the neck, the tail has to be inserted through the neck and glued to the body. The top two tabs of the body by the neck, which were left unglued to allow the bulk of the tail to pass through, can now be glued.

If anyone glued these tabs closed by mistake, it will not be a big deal to cut a slit at the top of the body, and then glue it closed using a tab of paper on the inside after inserting the tail. The advantages of working with paper!

Photo 3 – The neck attached. Notice that all the scales line up nicely.

Again this is one of those parts that looks like it will not fit when you hold it to the body, but it does!

The best way to attach the neck is to start with the top two tabs. Let them dry and then do alternate tabs on each, using the tab flipping method described earlier, and again giving them time to dry. This will ensure the neck aligns nicely to the body and the two parts come together nicely.

Photo 4 – This shows the results so far with head and tail on.
