So... after two years, I am back on this project! Finished up the paint and weathering for the thermal monitor. Now, I just need to get the light working inside!

Hard to believe it has been eight years since I posted this photo, but I finally removed the electronics board from the guts of the piece, sanded the top of the board down, and glued it to the top of the sensor.

Nothing amazing, but the result was correct, which is what I wanted!

Hey man how did you get the top peace to stay? And the red latch after you cut the groove and then put the red switch in? You glue it or use the spring it came with? To stay on the thermal monitor? I just got one of these bad boys

Re: Universal Solider - The Definitive UniSol Build

Got in my Chojin Sentai Jetman Cross Changer toy today and immediately went to work on it. The first thing was to remove the back spring clip entirely. Second was to flip the front clip around (facing upward instead of downward) and carve out a groove for it to fit in. Because these pieces are so small and so delicate and the space is so tight, this was a bit nerve-wracking and stressful, but after a couple of hours of very careful filing and sanding, I am very happy with the results and feel I have a piece extremely similar to the original. One of the cool things I discovered was that there is some detailing on the underside of the lid of the hero thermal monitor. Upon taking the toy apart, I discovered that detail is just the circuit and light chip found in the original toy that has been removed and glued to the underside of the lid!

Still have some work to go including getting the blinking light to work and getting the entire unit painted.

Like this or does the red button lip has to be on the blue lid.i had to cut off the red 2 side peaces and theres a bottom where they are idk if i cut that to

Was lucky enough to snag one off eBay for about $80! Will have it cast for our group.
