Haven't updated in a few days, but not because I've stopped working on the kit. It's actually because I've been caught up working on it that I haven't updated my progress here.
Here's how the kit looks on the 9th day. Nice legs! But it's getting cold so let's put on a pair of shorts :)
Notice on the second pic one of the beam rifle is missing. That's because I'm making a modification to it. It may actually be my first time modding a kit.
As you can see in the pic below, the end of the beam rifle can open up and allow the other rifle to slide in to form a "mega" beam rifle. The problem I found is this part doesn't remain in the closed position very well. So after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to cut a small piece of soft rounded plastic from the "PC" runner (that's the gray piece) and super-glue it onto the end piece.
So now, the gray piece will fit into the open slot at the end of the rifle and thus keep the end piece in the closed position. To open, I'll need to apply a little bit of force and pull out the end piece so that I can rotate the gray piece out of the slot.
