I printed out this simple 2 page plan as done and modified by @Sky Seeker here

20210831_154526.jpg

My build will be simple and straight foreword, due to my limited tools and supplies.
I will not be doing any of the modifications that @Sky Seeker did, but, hopefully, the model will look good enough to sit on my daughter in laws shelf.

Glad I could give you some inspiration. Guess it's time for a little perspiration...;)

Was able to do a little more on this today. The hands loosened up a bit.

Glued the thrusters together and added the props..

Okay, so now I'm falling down the rabbit hole... Since I reprinted the parts sheet, I've cut the front and rear bumper pieces out of the old body, and made recessed tail lights, and front indicators.

Next I'm gonna cut the rear bumper pads off the old body, and make raised bumper pads.
