The body is made in two halves, which then telescope together. Getting the resulting seam to stick down on the glossy surface means just sitting there holding the seam shut for about ten minutes. I guess I didn't hold that bit shut long enough, and it's pinged open again. I just might attack it with CA, but then how do I hold it shut?

A bit of a puzzle there. I don't suppose you could CA it, and squeeze him together between two bookends. The edges probably won't cooperate

 The sharp bends do tend to distract a bit from the final model. Here are the T-rex and elephant models.   Someone once said the T-rex looked like it was wearing a tartan in the photo.

And here's the last one (From me)... The Bald Eagle ...
 It is a very detailed model, and the last stages are very difficult to assemble. Due to the hard shiny surfaces of the card, every tab needs to be clamped for a few minutes to set hard, but there are few that can be got at with a clamp, so it's necessary to do a two handed squeeze. One hand inside and one outside.  Not a bad model by a long chalk, but the end result looks more like a cartoon than life like. It looks good on it's own, but totally out of place among my Malcolm Topp and Johan Scherft bird collection. The Canon Bald Eagle is far superior (and it's free.) I don't think I'll be buying any more of these MB PaperArt creations. They were meant to be kid's toys, and fit well into that role. Pretty good kits to use when teaching the Rug-Rats though. Keep on snippin' ... Johnny.
