That particular harness/upright assembly needs to plug into that particular panel on the center console.ģ. The rest have round blanks in the same position.Ģ. The Sergeant shoulder harness is the one with the skull. There are three things you need to note about the drawing.ġ. GW provides this tiny picture in the instructions but no real explanantion as to why it's there. The blanks spots are all the Marine harness points. On the center console itself, it will be the one panel that has the keypad and readout screen and not just two blank spots. To do that, we need to know what components make up the Sergeant harness. The key is getting the components of the Sergent's individual harness correct. The center console itself can sit on the floor base facing any direction.

Unfortunately, GW is not that clear in their directions and most of us have figured this out by trial and error. Understanding this little tidbit matters. This is perhaps the most important thing of the whole project.

The inner harness assembly, the floor and doors and the engine/fin assembly. We're going to build three sub-assemblies. Once I have everything ready, then I start building. I've found it easiest to clip everything from the sprue and take care of all my mold lines. This project requires 13 magnets when all said and done. I've got a 1/8 drill bit that I use to create the perfect size hole for the magnets to rest comfortably in. I use 1/8 inch rare earth magnets for my work. If you're magnetizing this, you'll need a few more things in addition to your clippers, files and glue. Start out by making sure you have all your pieces and your tools. The construction of this is designed to allow easy painting of the final three sub-assemblies so that you can get into all the tight spaces fairly quickly and easily with the last step being to glue the three components together. The follow up to this post will be the painting of the same pod. While it's presented in the order you should do things, there is some room to move things around and depending on what tools you have available, you may need to do just that. Make sure to read through the whole thing before attempting it though. You can skip the magnetizing parts and still use all the info here to build your pod.īelieve me, reading this before you attempt to build your own will help you out tremendously. This tutorial covers the basic construction and magnetizing of the doors and both weapons for the drop pod. Magnetizing is an added benefit, not necessary, but definitely nice to do. There are a few things you need to know before you put glue to plastic. If you've never built one of these before, you owe to yourself to do some research before you get underway.
