Assembling the raptor, part 2

The raptor model kit's journey into becoming one of my Jurassic Park OCs in figurine form continues. Number of separate pieces has gone from... 68 (+spares)? to 8.

Little Velo guarding the small parts by being brighter and easier to notice, so I don't accidentally sweep the feet and one (1) loose claw onto the floor, from which the claw at least will never be found.

Attaching the minuscule dewclaws proved to be a real pain, they're so small I can't even properly grasp them let alone hold them firmly enough to push them into place. I did by some miracle manage to snap one of them on, though it got damaged a bit by the tweezers I used. The other one I just deliberately broke, and will attach later with glue. Or, I could work a broken-off dewclaw into Whirlwind's character design - wild animals do get injuries. Probably not the most likely of her claws to get hurt, since it's not even used, so the story of how that happened is probably very embarrassing.

Ghost legs standing by themselves!

Along with the seam at the top of the head, the underside of the torso just wouldn't close fully. Again a lot of small parts inside, so one is probably just slightly out of place. The legs attach just fine, though (and detach easily, so I took them off for now), and the tail stays in place, so I'll just seal that with putty. I don't know if maybe one day the tension in the plastic due to the misalignment ends up cracking it, but that sounds like a problem for future me.
