Thank you, thank you! I can't even wait to finish this model. That's why I keep on checking the overall looks by displaying it in standing mode. ;D
Updates again:
Finally worked on the LEDs...
It works! Then after trying to squeeze the circuit, I broke 3 connected wires! I need to run to Home Depot just to buy a soldering iron.
Pretty cool I say... But the transparent plastic surrounds the LED are not applied yet.
I found these from one of the stands of my action figures...

Since they are ball joints that looks strong, I tried to apply it to the DS custom. I also tightened the ball w/ glue.
I cut the acrylic rod I installed before and drilled the center and put an Al tube like a pin. Then I put epoxy putty inside and applied a lot of drops of glue. Waited for a day to cure.
Now it is movable and bonded very strong. But im still worried.
Lights on!
I want to make a storage for the Beam Smart Gun... I dunno yet how but im getting there soon.
I separated the 2 rail guns from the left side of the lower boosters and put on both sides.
By the way, sorry to disappoint you guys but it can only stand on its own if the boosters on top are not in there. The DS now is like a tripod, with the help of the propellant at the back, it stands with the booster. I will put the two front landing gears to the lower boosters to act like a support.
He's getting heavier and heavier. Im worried if I apply the BF Cannon. It's like the whole cannon is the weight of the whole base model!
Will continue this weekend. Thanks again for viewing! :-)
