I resize mine to 800 x 600 pixels which gives a file size of 80-150 KB. Look forward to seeing your progress.

Issues #4 & #5 So - in the week issues 4 & 5 arrived. First - no printing issues here! :-) Issue 4 was mainly covering the LED test – no issues here and test fit the ankle part and the shoulder joint – will save those for later as they are not screwed in place yet. Issue 5 starts with making R2’s head – the top metal plate and a bracket. 5 mins work completed until next month when we start receiving 4 issues and the fun starts to ramp up! Here are some photos of Issue #5 build - hopefully these will display correctly! File Attachment(s): LSainsbury attached the following image(s):

Looking good Lee. Only one picture showing, if you tick the attach file box then point the browser to the location of your pictures, it should display the all when posting. Keep up the good work.   Regards

Looking good Lee. I think your image loading issue is the file size. Resize your pics to 660 pixels width and all should show. At present you have a pixel width of 800 - 1000, hence they show as downloads. Hope this helps Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Man that does look fun. One of my favorite parts of the Falcon build is the frame. This one isn't for me for while though. So many other things to build and no budget for them all. Keep up the good work

So - Sunday afternoon building issues 6,7,8 and 9 - lots of small screws and nuts involved with this one but I now have a completed first ring - the head is taking shape and the LCD status display works. Does everyone else's ankle joint look like mine? It look slightly raised due to the two round plastic tabs. it's seated correctly, just looks a bit odd!

Hi Lee,  Looks like you have the ankle detail 180 degrees out. Unsrew it, turn it through 180 degrees and refit, should then be Ok. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Nice work. We all make the odd mistake - at least it's not a glued joint and was easily rectified.
