Issue 3

Start by reinforcing the foot casing with 2 x KP screws and 1 x JP screw.
Take one of the outer foot halves as shown and then the next foot housing and connect them both as shown in picture 3. Fit the 2 BM screws as shown in picture 4.
Next, gather the MP screw along with the washer and pivot stop and place as shown in picture 6 and 7. Now connect the outer heal joints with a GP screw, picture 10. Fit the joint end into the hole as shown in picture 12, this will only fit one way.
Now attach the right heal assembly to the foot frame as shown in 13 and 14 and fix with a BM screw.
The inner heal joint is assembled with a FP screw as shown in pictures 14 and 15. Now attach the upper heal joint with another FP screw.
Attach the left heal assembly with an IP screw as shown in pictures 18 and 19.

That completes this issue.

Issue 4

First, fit the upper bridge bracket to the outer bridge frame with a BM screw, picture 2. On the other side, fix the right toe with a CM screw and a washer. Now fit the cup as shown in picture 6 and 7 to hide the screw. Do the same to the other toe assembly.
The next step feels like you need 3 hands. Take one of the bridge washers and place it as shown in picture 9 and 10. Holding the toe assembly add the opposite bridge washer and other toe assembly, picture 11. Whilst holding this section all together fix them with a BM screw.
Fit the stabilizer bracket to the right side of the foot, picture 13 and fix with a LP screw and washer, picture 14. Place the silver cap supplied coving the screw.
Next, attach the right stabilizer to the side of the foot, this snaps into place and will only fit one way, picture 16. Place the upper bridge guard plate to the top of the foot as shown in picture 17, followed by the upper bridge guard, picture 18, fixing it with an IP screw.
Fit the small grill into the recess as shown in picture 20, followed by the top plate as shown in picture 20. Both these parts clip into place.

That completes this issue.

Take the right foot assembly from last issue and attach the upper end cap as shown in picture 2. Next fit the joint into the rear stabilizer and fix with an HP screw, pictures 3 and 4.

That completes this issue.

Issue 6

Fit the inner rim to the middle rim and fix with 4 x IP screws, then fit the assembly inside the tyre. Now place the hubcap on the side of the wheel as shown in pictures 6 and 7. Fix the fender to the assembly as shown in picture 8.

Note: Pictures 10,11 and 12 show the wheel painted. I decided to tone down the silver paint as I thought it looked a bit plasticky. I painted some black oil paint on, left it for 5 minutes and polished it off with a cotton ball to give it a more chrome metallic look. This was my preference and is not necessary for the build.

That completes this issue.
