Hi All, 
Well I can`t keep you all waiting any longer,  , so here`s the update for issue 72.
I have split this issue the same as the last into two sections. (A+B)
Section A, will be the main Ironman Build and Section B, will be the standard supplied base build section.
Ok, onto the main Ironman part of the build.
Now, I think you must all know me by now and if I think something in the order needs changing then I`ll say so. Therefore I will follow the given instructions and point out where I think things need changing in this case.
Lets get on by saying that all the parts supplied are shown in Pic 1.
Bring the Chest Structure and ARC reactor holder (from this stage) to your work place and place then fix the Reactor Holder to the inside of the Chest Structure using two EM screws. Pic 2.
Now position the Reactor Mast and Base Plate as shown in Pic 3.
Finally, holding the Reactor Mast, position the Mast Base onto the rear of the Reactor Holder and secure it in place using two IP screws. Pic 4.
That ends this stage for the Main Ironman Build. 
EXCEPT for what follows here:
At this point you have a flimsy Reactor Mast protruding from the rear of the Chest Structure. The thing is that the Chest Structure is going to get a lot of handling over the next few issues of the build and in my opinion the Reactor Mast is therefore susceptible to damage.
Here`s the options:
1, Leave the mast in place and be very careful that it doesn`t get damaged, or
2, Don`t fix/or remove the Mast until it really needs to be in place. If you choose option 2, then don`t forget to keep the parts and screws in a safe place until they really need to be fixed in place.
I`ll give you a reminder when it HAS to be fixed in place. At the end of the day the choice is yours, but it may help save some breakages.
So, next update will be for the standard base, which will be coming very soon.
Take Care,
Regards

Here we are again, Hi All,
This is the update for Issue 72, that is for the standard base supplied with the kit.
As the parts supplied were shown in the previous update I`ll skip that bit. 
Just a little care with regard to alignment and insertion of locating pins to be taken into account, this update is quite easy. Either that or my old brain is truly fuzzed.
Bring the two parts of the support mast to your bench and align them as shown in Pic 1. Slide the two parts together and align the holes as can be seen in Pic 2. I have indicated where the two locating pins will be inserted.
Now, position the locating pins as shown in Pic 3 and VERY CAREFULLY using a pin hammer or the like tap them into position until they look like those in Pic 4.
In this issue you have been supplied with two self-adhesive pads. Note: these pads are not square in shape, so check the right side of the pad as shown in Pic 5 against the end of the support post where a raised ring can be seen.
You only need one pad as the other is a spare. 
Whilst removing the backing, carefully wrap the pad around the base of the pole in a nice and flat manner, NOT as shown in Pic 6. Luckily I hadn`t wrapped it tightly at that point and managed to recover the situation.
Pic 7 looks a lot better. phew. See, I show it "warts an all".
Pic 8 shows the completed assemblies for this issue.
Well that`s the end of Issue 72 Main and Base updates, so I`ll see you all soon for Issue 73.
Take Care out there.
Regards

Hi All,
Well I didn`t expect to be back quite so soon, but for some strange reason (though I`m not complaining) the next pack has already landed.
So, here comes the updates for Issue 73, which will consist of two posts. First one will cover the main figure update and the second will see the basic stand finished.
As all the parts are in one pack they are all shown in Pic 1.
Start by positioning the two Breastplate Elements onto the Breastplate as shown in Pic 2, then whilst holding them in place fix them using 4 x IP screws from the rear of the Breastplate. Pic 3.
Next, position the Breastplate onto the Neck Armour Pic 4. Make sure that the side tabs are located correctly Pic 5 and secure the two parts together, using 2 x IP screws. Pic 6.
Bring the main chest assembly back to the work space from Issue 72 and slot the Breastplate assembly into the front. Pic 7. Then secure the assemblies together using 2 x IP screws from the rear of the main chest assembly. Pic 8.
That completes this update for the figure part of this issue. Pic 9.
I`ll be back soon with the finale for Issue 73, where the basic stand will be completed. That then will leave just Issue 74 to complete this pack.
Regards

Hi All,
Back again, to finish off this pack with the update for Issue 74. I`ve made a start on the next pack that arrived a few days ago, so keeping up to date.
Issue 74 enhances the chest assembly from Issue 73 by adding the Breastplate Mechanism.
Supplied parts are shown in Pic 1.
Retrieve the Chest Assembly from Issue 73 and position the Breastplate Mechanism into place. Pic 2.
Whilst holding the parts together, turn them over and fix the parts together using 4 x IP Screws as shown in Pic 3.
That completes this update for Issue 74. Pic 4.
Updates for the next pack (issues 75 - 78) coming soon.
Regards
