Hi all, This will be my first build of this size, and I'm going to try and keep a build diary through out the whole build. I have done small scale models before but nothing like this. Ritchie69 attached the following image(s): Completed - R2D2

The next 4 issues have arrived (9, 10, 11 & 12) and I got straight down to building. Issue 9 The last piece of the top of the dome fitted & the metal ring attached, this has secured it all and is very secure. Ritchie69 attached the following image(s): Completed - R2D2
