A few bits were rubbed with scotchbrite and sprayed with primer. Hopefully the cold weather won't affect the drying process.

I was also trying to work out how to stick the skins together and then mount to the frame. A little research and I have decided to use clear silicone to bond the skins when I buy some. In order to fix the skins to the frame, as I want the skins to be detachable I will be screwing them in somehow. Clamping the front skin to the frame and seeing where the tabs were on the frame, I opted to mix a bit of P38 filler to screw into.

While this was drying, some surplus P38 was used on a greased under shoulder section to try and make a mould so that some metal infills cane be made. If this doesn't come out it's going to be fun getting the filler out. Hey!Ho!

Before the cold reached to far, I managed to generate some heat by soldering my spare Charging Bay Indicator board with some violet/purple LEDS. AS R2-ST will be purple it may look good to have matching (ish) LEDS when the door opens.

To end the day, a quick set-up on the laptop to ensure everything worked and 'Hey, presto'
