Tyrannosaurus Rex by Alejandr0

Alejandr0, I'm working on the arms, and I'd like to suggest clarifying the instructions for them, especially for the hands. I have assumed (correctly, I think) that all the seams align, but the diagram is not helpful for figuring out the hands, and the parts are to small for me to do the fold lines accurately. I am having trouble seeing how parts 21, 21a, 21b, and 21c come together. I think a larger view of part 21b and how each end of it are shaped would be helpful.

Here is a temporary instruction set for the arms hope is helpful. Red lines are the seams. I'll get another ready for the legs. I'll post them soon.

Here are a couple of more views of the hands. I do hope they are helpful

Thank you, that is much clearer. I was thinking that 21b pinched together to form siamesed tubes, and couldn't figure out how to get it all to come together. It is simpler than I thought.

Some more, first showing how one part comes together. Then a finished arm. The arm claws are unlabeled with part numbers, but I think I know how they go, with the outside ones being the outside claws.

Alejandr0, I have a questions about the arms. I built the 22 arm one way, by removing the red dotted tabs, and joining 22g and 22h starting at the green dots. The arm is now attached to the body and looks fine, but now I am starting the 21 arm and second-guessing. in the second pic, I think the red dotted tabs should be removed and 21h looks like it will fit better with the green dots joined. Which is correct, or are both correct? Should I redo the 22 arm to mirror the 21 pic?

[Alejandr0]

Hi This is the way it should go. If you already pasted one arm to the body I suggest leave it as it is.

[alfadoc]

Thanks for responding so quickly, I thought it was going together awkwardly. I'll have to think about redoing 22 after 21 is attached, and I see how they look together.

An extensive update. The arms went together well. Unsureness about how one part attached (see previous posts) led to one being rotated back further than the other, but I think it looks fine, like it is being waggled. I continued on with the body. WARNING: do not attach 34 before the legs, like I did (Alejandr0, maybe make this explicit in the directions?). You need that room to maneuver your hand inside to attach the legs. I was able to get one leg on by going in through the other leg hole, but I'm still thinking on how to get the other.
A start on the feet, with a couple of edits: parts 32 and 33 need the tabs indicated, I cut the tabs in 33c to compensate without making a new 33; 33d and 32d need the tab indicated.

Update part 2: I filled the feet with some small washers smothered in white glue, as I want to be sure the T-rex is sure-footed.
33f and 32f need the tabs indicated.
33g is labeled 33f in the diagram, and vice versa.
The leg continues, with the dewclaw bump.
Finished the leg and attached. Once again, make sure to leave 34 off until the legs are attached.
33q and 32q need the tab indicated removed; it interferes with one on the body.
On to the other leg, tail, and all those teeth!
