MSE-6 Build notes

[Roger Booth]

I do have a question about the height.

I cut out the bottom section last night and taped it together.
After stacking the shell bits together, the first thing I did was give it a quick measure all over. I went back through the notes I made when researching and saw a note I'd made about the height of the original prop.

My notes say 25cm as the height, mine measures 27.5cm when sitting flat on it's belly, I have triple checked all my measurements and followed the blue print to the letter but even this gave me 27.5cm as the finished height.

Should I trying to loose 2.5cm somewhere or leave it as it is, in terms of proportion it does look correct when compared to other pictures?

The only mention about height appears to be on the Gryffin guide which goes into the history of the film prop in some detail.
I just have this '25cm' figure in my head and it's now bothering me.
Should I be bothered or just get on with it?

I know it's a Mouse Droid but should it be this big, it's massive, just hope the RC car chassis will take it.
