Worked on the top light holders for my SWR variant of the MSE-6.
I did buy some led lamp holders with plastic lenses but when lit the LED's inside were so bright the lens colour's were just bleached out so I have shelved these for now and decided that I'm going to use 10mm coloured LED's, the plastic holders they came with finish the top of nicely.
The two halves of the shell now fit together, I used plastic bayonet fittings usually used for building MDF furniture, this allows the front to slide into position, I then have two cupboard door magnets holding the back of the shell together. I can lift the whole droid up buy the top part of the shell without it falling apart but this is without any batteries, speakers, circuits, etc.
Looking good, just need some tweaking with the suspension ride height and the top painting.
