That's what I should have done. Instead, I just filed down parts of the legs. :(
this is what i was going to do, but I just ended up angling the main body down so that it is covered, you can still see the gap from the back though. Seems like a silly problem to have, how was this avoided when it was being sculpted?
On a side note, I love the Hyena mini, it goes together very well and IMO is an accurate representation of the art.
