Repeat for the rear grill. Take the panel connectors and left side body panel and secure the connectors to the panel with self tapping screws.

He's really coming along now, must admit that once the saber tube is installed and the wiring is tidy, it really looks a professional job. However, I do have a quick question. I get mine on a weekly basis from my local newsagents, so it is possible that I have missed something along the way. Have we had anything to put behind the big, blue, squareish thing with the large black lens? I have a black plastic mount there, but nothing mounted to it, so I don't know if I have missed an issue somehow, or if it's for a future issue. Current Builds
Eaglemoss: Ecto-1, BTTF Delorean [Installing Mods]
Hachette: T800 Endoskeleton
Agora Models Shelby Cobra 427 [Plate 031]
BanDai 1:5000 Imperial Star Destroyer
AMT 1991 U.S.S. Enterprise Bridge [Installing Mods & Lights]
Finished Builds

Mine is the same, nothing issued for that space. Completed - R2D2

I've finally got round to updating this months build. Quite a bit to do as we near the end of the build, as everything is now starting to come together. Issue 77 Parts in this issue are Dome screws, leg support, Cable organiser & ties. Screw the L bracket to the leg support. Then screw the leg support to the body frame. Screw the last 3 screws to the inside of the dome. Take the lightsabre assembly from issue 37 and the cable organiser. Wrap the cable organiser around all the wires, then cable tie to the side of the lightsabre assembly. Screw the lightsabre assembly into the dome in the space provided. Then carefully attach the wires for all the dome electronics to the circuit board inside the dome. Ritchie69 attached the following image(s): Completed - R2D2
