Hi
I started work on my Mumak a couple of days ago, and now have it all cut off the sprue and cleaned up, ready for assembly.
Before glueing, I did a dry fit (involving lots of rubber bands and blu tac
). Now, from this dry fit, I have noticed the angle that the head naturally fits to the body at, because of the way the neck is moulded. Unfortunately though, this angle doesn't look like it would work for me. 
As you can see in the pictures, if the head is at this angle, both the trunk and one of the tusks are too low to the ground. They are actually below the height of the base in the pictures, but that is because of the couple of mm that the blu tac (actually white tac) takes up in the joint, but even when glued, they will still be scraping the height of the base.
This would be ok if I was just doing the mumak on its standalone base, but as this mumak will be in a diorama, I reckon that I will definitely have to do something to raise the height of these (as the tusk hasn't even gotten any spikes on it yet). So basically, I'm looking for some advice on what to do with it. Shall I just cut some of the left side of the neck off, so the head sits at less of an angle? Preferably I don't want a reposition job that requires filling an absolutely massive gap, although of course some filling will be required.
Any help is appreciated, thanks
