R5-D4's Head 1.2 - Frame & some skin build work

So this afternoon, I fitted the four main skeleton frame pieces and then made up four smaller ones to help support the lower curve pieces. These also support the main band and help retain the curve shape.

When I'd screwed them all on, I got the feeling of Darth Maul :D Been watching cartoon Clone Wars recently lol

Then I got to cutting out two lengths of wood to go round the 'recessed' area. I would recommend a single length, but the material I had was all that I had to work with.

 

Panels are held in place with panel pins and will get some resin applied at a later date. Once 100% happy with what I've done. Next I'll be cutting out and fitting the lower curved pieces.
