Fist of all, we'll need the pieces shown below. They're spread out over multiple issues, so dig around a bit.
Now, put them on in the order shown. Starting starboard, forward of the sublight engine:
FORESIGHT ALERT: If you're here because of the note in Issue 91, here's what I was talking about. Getting this piece here in between the two mandibles is a royal pain in the body part of your choice. I almost took the mandibles off to get this one bit on, but in the end got it on enough to suit. Word to the wise.
Now that those are done, let's add two more support pieces:
OK. Big time now. Get the corridors and things and glue them to the main hold, including the little corridor that goes to the turrets:
Do a couple of test fits to make sure everything fits in the pegs on the body before applying glue and fixing them in place. Don't be afraid to get in there with flashlights and such, make sure they're right in place. This is not something you want to have to undo.
Next, put the little cylinder in, lining it up so the opening faces the corridor (there's a tab on the other side as well to help):
Now, break out the extension cord with ends that look like these:
Unplug the battery box, and plug in the extension cord instead:
Plug the battery box into the other end, and give it a test. Everything should still light up OK.
Just about time to add the top half. Cool, huh?
