Final build. the Lantern Armor build is a fun, somewhat complicated build with the two and three part upper cuirass shoulder armor. the second female (far right above) is in my top 5 favorite miniatures
Assembled 2 part arms - G1 and G2 are single part. Note that D2 and A2 fit better on A1 and D1 - thanks BGG User

Upper cuirass components. these are two or three part shoulder wraparounds which are male/female specific
Upper cuirass assemblies. when building these models, test fit the cuirass shoulder armor on top of the arms before gluing the cuirass on – you may need to clip the outer arms to get it to fit or get the pose you want – see Female B.
