    Hey folks

    Just wondering if anyone who's taken apart CW Scattorshot / Silverbolt can let me know which way to take the pins out that hold on his combined mode chest parts? Am having a spot of bother (and by spot i mean i'm short of having a psychotic episode) trying to figure it out, so any help would be fantastic!

    the rigid end is on the bottom end of the chest. it is a bit of trouble though. very hard to take out with little force...best of luck!

    Ta for the info, Marvel! To be honest, the chestplates themselves are easy-ish to remove; the real bitch if the part that attaches the chestplates to the legs.. I'm going on the assumption that the pins holding them onto the legs go the same way as the pins holding the chest bits on..

    yeah, same direction...and a tip for reassembling thost parts. when putting the pins back in those part they like to lean out of the direction of the last hole thanks to the empty side.

    thanks again for the hint, Marvel - at this rate, my custom better turn out great, with the sheer physical effort needed to get ScattorSnot into bits I can then prep for paint! hehe

    Now, I just need an extra pair of hands.. doh!
