R5-D4 Body Skin 1.3 - Rear Hatch Section

Have been working on the second lower flat side piece of body. Cut a piece & a curved section to size and glued together. Then worked on it fitting correctly.
Creating a lower rear section, housing both rear coin returns & power coupler.
Cut a piece of board to size, that will be used for this. Measured half the gap between the lower & bottom panels that appear on the rear hatch/door & marked this as the mid cut off point. Frame will require two small end up rights & a curved upper piece to fix to. Then planning on the rear hatch haveing hinges.

I then cut out the first coin return slot [pictured above]. Already made up the coin return rear out of metal, cut and bent to shape. I need to next work on the hole for the Power Coupler & other coin return.

Not cut to depth yet.
