The first step in this building is to correct the misalignement of the two sandwiches that made the head and body. The gap is of 2mm at top and of 0.5mm at the bottom.

At the bottom, it's pretty fast with a light sanding of the raised stops :

On the top it is far more complex to correct :

  • a little cut of hair behind the ear :), and extend the two slits of about 2 mm

  • reduction of about 1.5 mm (I have not measured before exactly) the height of the midpiece

  • cut a notch below the top of the head of 4.6cm by 3mm wide

All this needs a lots of dry tests, patience and scratching the scalp to find the right part to hack at each step :). In the end, the result is nice. IMGP2303-2.JPG

Later, I will need to add a little plastic card part to complete the missing shield between the two.

The removal of armor plates on the sides of the head is basic : cutting, sanding, and so on. It's not exciting, it's long, and at the end you no longer feel his fingers ! IMGP2296.JPG
