creature's MSE droid
#2
After I got all the parts cut out I started assembling the shell. I started with the top because I'm still not exactly sure how I'm going to build the drive train and that will inform the design of the lower shell.

I glued the frame pieces to the tabs on the rim and glued the sides to the front and back of the main body. They look something like this.

I glued the top on and then mixed up some filler from styrene beads left over from the CnC spindle and smeared it on all of the seams on the body.

Then I started to sand the corners down and round them to match more of the vacu-formed look of the screen used shells. I'm pleased with how they're coming out.
