gluing up the legs, it sucked.

PROGRESS!!!!

I glued the legs, feet, and hips together. This sucked. It is the hardest step in the entire build assembly. Lots of prep work leading up to this.

I have a magnet drilled for and glued into the top of the hips at the waist, to make the waist movable.

Pins in the knees for stability.

Alignment pins in the baseplate.

Planning out a baseplate system period. The model does not come with a baseplate, the builder has to design and build a baseplate if they want one.

Pin holes in the feet where the ankle struts will attach. I am going to pin the top and the bottom of each ankle strut for strength, it seems like a major weak point to me.

And last i have large pin holes drilled in the legs at the hip joint. As soon as the glue cures a bit. Probably overnight, i am going to put pins there for strength.

After all the pins are in, but before the ankle struts are in, i am going to apply some paint at last! Primer and a base of darker silver metallic will go down. After that the ankle struts will get painted, installed, and pinned in.

Spray can of paint is there for the scale, so far this is just under 12 inches tall.
