But here's the latest installment.
I have finished marking and cutting the other 3 panels on the front inner skin. These are now ready to go. All I have to do is work out how I'm going to attach the skins to the frame. Just to make R2 a bit different to the norm, I'm toying with the idea of countersinking allen key bolts into the frame and leaving them on show. This will save having to smooth over and paint and make skin removal easier if required. It may even look more factory built too.

I've also been following a fellow builders updates on the forum about his adaption for the dome light displays. Being most impressed with BigHappyDudes progress I spent the remaining birthday money on a lot of bits to start this and a motor controller. The plan is for R2 to move by Xmas and join in the festivities and for Skye to start her part in the build and solder!!
Heres a photo of a few of the bits with more on the way - yippee!!

I couldn't get over how small the dual motor controller was compared to the 4QD one for Skye's Toylander
