<div align="center">3/25/07 Button Panel Work</div>
Continuing the tradition of a little progress at a time, today work included cutting out the back panel. This will allow the back buttons and lights to be removed in one piece giving some access to the internal workings from the top, as well as matching the most recent design on "School Reunion" which had the buttons mounted on a removable sheet.

A thin sheet of aluminum has been cut and I spent some time bending it to fit to the top of the panel. I hope to have the time this week to scribe out where the button holes should be drilled and work out the two red light holes for the upper piece of the panel. Some body work will be necessary to close a few gaps, as the body still isn't perfectly square, but pretty close.

For a little bit of scaling, I set next to the body two toy K9s available on the market. The first is a RC 2" K9 that came with a Doctor Who figure, the second the Character Options 1/4 scale RC toy.
