The Probe Droid Resin Kit Instructions Tread

[vaderdarth]

I only see a tube and inside the tube or on top of it appears to be some sort of bracket??? No idea. I have looked at every photo I can get my hands on and nothing looks familiar.

So which one shall I buy, fellas?

Also, Dave - am I sending these missing parts to Mike?

 

[vaderdarth]

Send him pics first to make sure he didn't already have them and they just got left out of your kit.

Dave

 

[moffeaton]

Good idea!

 

[vaderdarth]

I've been going thru my kit parts, post pics of the ones you mean and I'll have a look to see if they are in my kit.

Post #20 - parts in red in the first two pics.

In the two pics......I do not seem to have the 3 box looking parts in the upper pic in my kit, but I definitely have the second part in my kit so I'm assuming everyone got the second one. (almost everybody) Send the first one to Mike, but call him first as I believe he's gone on holiday with his family.

Three boxes, Tamiya Matilda, its all easy to follow here.

Most ID's, if not all are listed within, i think its been used for a ref guide anyway, but it seems these parts from the Matty were missed.

By the way, for those of you wondering and following this last minute development.........I will be sending out the last minute additon to the kit, these 3 missing bits.......at no charge to my buyers.

 

[moffeaton]

Good man

 

[cosmic_x]

thanks Dave!

 

[vaderdarth]

Who's your daddy?

 

[vaderdarth]

Alright Jason, I've trimmed out all my PD kit parts and am ready to follow your build!!!! We can worry about the 3 missing bits at the end.

As you wish. I won't be home until late tonight, but I will be able to post inventory pics tomorrow. Like I said, it's probably best to start on the legs, so that's where I'll start. It will "stall" enough to allow the missing parts to land in my mail box, maybe?

Just ordered a couple of bearings off of Amazon. A 3" "Lazy Susan" for under $2. If that works, I'll tailor the lasercut acrylic to the mount points!

 

[vaderdarth]

sounds good!

 

[vaderdarth]

Alright. I'm ready, got my CA glue ready, Xacto, duct tape and chewing gum, Ready!!!!

Been at this all evening. Hope this works. Will start building now, as I can find the dang time. July was not a kind month for "free time". Bag and tag your parts into the following groups, as this is how I'm approaching the sub-assemblies.

Big stuff:

This wee fella goes with the smallest big piece:

Sad orphans I might use. We will see:
