A lot of prep work preceded the closing up the main frame construction, and the main drive strut.

The first two pictures show the main drive strut with the rotation cam in place.
Scuffing was the name of the game with these parts, both sides that got glue on it, got a quick scuff with a nail file, and I wiped down each part from the dust that I created.

The 3rd and 4th pictures show the main frame structure, and the reinforcement corners. Some thought was put into how I needed to close up the frame, working out a glue sequence as to get the parts to close properly.

The 5th picture shows the main drive strut installed in the main frame.

The 6th and 7th pictures show the closed main frame structure, and a close up showing the cam and strut.

More to come of course
