Looking good. I agree with you about not using the clear pieces on his joints - how stable are they without them? I have one of these and was thinking of drilling them out a bit more and inserting some cut aluminium tubing, to reduce the chances of the joints coming apart.

@Uwe - They don't keep position without clear parts. I'm going to glue joints when 'll find pose for vignette. But I definitely like your idea with aluminum tubes and I think joint units will look more heavy and reasonable. May be use brass tubes from cheap telescopic antenna?

@Uwe - your idea may work... check photo #8

Uwe Kaeding
Great! Hadn't thought about a telescopic antenna - Albion Alloys make aluminium (and brass) tubing in a huge range of sizes and that was my plan

JD
Nice scratch building! Like what you have done with the blaster modification 👍

@JD thank you. I'm not totally happy with blaster (scribing) but i'm learning, hope will do better next time

Just seen, great project. Is it finished in the meantime?

@Torsten Not yet. I'm still on the way to improve my skills and understand techniques :-/ (for this I use my project - egg King Tiger) so it is really slow
