Hi Ronald If you can show some pictures of the parts you are trying to fit please so I can take a look. Have you looked at the official build diary photos for reference. I wait to here from you. Regards Mark

Ronald Maybe an obvious question but have you checked and double checked you have the correct part that is causing the problem? Tony Happy Modelling

enclosed are two photos of the right leg ankle assembly that is the way they are suppose to look right Ronald

It might be that you need to check the wheel mountain plate, that it has been fitted the correct way around. If you could also show the foot assemble that you’ve done so I can see and also show how the plate does not fit. We have had a few people a while back who fitted the parts in issue 47 the wrong way round and had the same issue as you. Hopefully an easy fix. Mark

I could do what you are asking me but that is the problem I am having which is the ankle fittings not snapping in the ankle like it did for the right leg as shown in photos Ronald

If you can show me exactly what it is doing, or not doing, so I can see myself. It will help me understand what the problem is. I want to see if it is the same problem someone else had a while back, which was easily rectified. Regards Mark

Hi Mark after looking at the photos very carefully in issue 55 page 15 part 9 I found the problem it turns out I had put the tabs that go in the ankle fitting in the opposite part in other words I put part LPR-29 in LPR-30 by mistake and vise a versa that is why they would not fit the ankle part Ronald

I compared your pictures with the official build ones, you seem to have them the right way round. Check you have the little blue parts that fits into the silver piece, are in the right ones, it maybe they are stopping them to fit in the holes. Regards Mark
