The above model was printed using the Pre-supported files supplied, with the 31mm tall Medic for scale!
The build requires some patience to get an optimum result. We strongly recommend dry fitting the parts repeatedly before adding any glue.  Alternatively, assemble the parts digitally and add supports to your chosen pose.

The recommended build order/method is:

• Glue one leg on, keeping the hips level and choosing your torso angle (it can be more upright or hunched over)
• Glue the other leg on, getting both feet as flat to the cutting mat at possible OR if you are adventurous you can try a more dynamic pose.
• If you are feeling REALLY adventurous we have supplied a file called Ogre_Legs_Reposeable which contains the legs with separate shells for the different parts - you can use Blender or a similar 3D modelling program to adjust the legs to any pose you like - you may wish to print the reposed legs and body as one model if you do this.
•  The OGRE Mech has a left and right arm which are labelled "L" and "R". 
• Glue the left arm to the gun, lining up the hand with the armoured wrist plate.
• Glue the left arm to the body, holding the right arm in place to ensure correct alignment.
• Remove the Right arm and attached it with glue.
• There is a choice of two Canopies, both of which can be assembled shut or partially raised. The canopy called "Open" has gaps at the side so even when fully shut, the pilots head is visible - paint it before you glue the canopy down!
  The canopy called "Closed" has no gap when closed, so we recommend using this one if you are rescaling the mech to make it bigger or smaller, and do not want a visible pilot.
