Well it's been a long time coming, but I finally finished my Rodd.com Mark VI (season 3+) tricorder. Overall, I'm fairly happy with how it came out, although there are a few minor nits I have. The kit itself is great, and builds up fairly quickly...just took me awhile because "real life" kept getting in the way. I actually built this up as practice for the Mark VII kits I have from them, so this one will be heading to the Junkyard shortly. Some things to note: I could not come up with a good way to install the red ID LED on the lower door, so this particular piece is missing it. Also, I didn't like how the instructions called for the handscanner to be attached with a piece of velcro, so I opted for a magnet. The graphics were also upgraded to a set produced by another member here, so they are not the ones included with the kit. Anyway, enough rambling on my part. If you want to see the whole buildup process, you can see it on my website at:
