A Lot of Work and a Little Progress

After quite a bit of work modifying the tube to fit the styrene skins properly, we are right back to where we need to be, even if the picture doesn't show much progress.

To modify the tube I had to cut a strip out and reattach the tube using Gorrilla Glue, we will see how it holds up.

I am in the process now of attaching the skins semi permanately and once complete I can go back to working on the dome.

A Whole Lot of Nothing

I recently found a tube which can be used as the foundation for the body of the R2. The tube's diameter needs to be adjusted and will require quite a bit of effort before we will find out if it will work for this project.

The tubes structure will need to be cut apart and pieced back together to generate the proper diameter in order for the skins to fit properly.
