You are right, it's an illegal connection that must've slipped through. I'll have to update it at some point. Rotate the curved plates to a normal position to allow the tail/butt to be flush with the model.

Hi, just finished building this and noticed an error, the 2 black 27925 pieces don’t have enough room to be turned the intended way with the structure from pages 77/78 connected to the back. The black 1x2 plate pushes them to be flush against it, and the model on page 80 shows the plates clipping into it

What was the piece that didn't exist

About how tall is this build?

Page 237 has no error. Those pieces do not overlap or clash at all. It is a legal connection. I would never require users to cut pieces. No other user has had this issue. Likewise on 258, you should not have had to cut the pieces. Check page 241 for the reverse on the construction of the top jaw. The pieces do not overlap. Page 268 is my error. The tab 1x2 plate is attached in that step, but the camera obscures it. It attaches to the bottom of the two curved pieces to make it flush. I will update the instructions in regards to the second issue.

Good morning, The other day I finished buliding it, thank you very much for the good work you have done and for sharing it. I have found 3 "faults" when assembling it following your instructions, there are actually 2, the third is a piece that I missed and appears in the instructions, but you did not add it. Failed: Page 237: there are 2 green pieces with the reference 79389 (Sand Green) which is too long and clashes with the black piece, I had to cut each piece to be able to put it in and later, to attach the part of the tongue, I had to cut the little circles to be able to attach it (page 258). Page 258: the two pink pieces reference 3710(pink) are very long, I had to cut the piece so that it could fit. Leftover piece: Page 268: you indicate that you have to use the part with reference 3023 (Tan) but you do not place it anywhere, I had that part left over. For the rest everything is perfect, again thank you very much!!!!

I always physically build my models first. Where did you have issues assembling it?

I worry that you did not build this before creating the instructions, as I had to make several modifications in order for the build to function. I'm still happy with it, but it does have some problems.

Thaaaanks for answer

Please use my video tutorial linked in the top pinned post. If none of the local Bricklink sellers work, then you have to go international. Many sellers in the US will have what you are looking for.
