Stalker Build Notes

Before assembly it is advised you wash all parts in warm water with a mildly abrasive cleanser such as Softscrub or Bar Keepers Friend. Trim all flash with a sharp razor knife.  It is strongly advised you test fit all parts prior to assembly.  Quick-set CA is my glue of choice. 

Here is what you should receive:


The cockpit area will need a little trimming to remove the lip around the edge. 


Install the SRMs before the cockpit.  If you position them as shown it will provide a socket for the cockpit to sit in. In this pic you can also see the area where the included greeblies go (pictured in dark gray).  Two different options have been included. 


The LRMs have a cover included.  I was having a difficult time casting these so what is included is a 3D printed part.  If you try to force it into place it is likely to break.  Warm the hook on the resin LRM in hot water or warm with a hair dryer.  While warm, gently bend it down and hook on the covers.  As it cools it should return to its original shape. 


There is an ankle cover included.  Depending on how you position the feet/lower leg there may be a large exposed area.  The ankle cover glues onto the front of the lower leg as shown. The yellow shows what the lower leg looks like with it attached and the blue without. 




After all is said and done, this is what you should end up with once complete not including the LRM covers.  Enjoy your Stalker!
