I've never seen another built example of the Protector from Jon Leslie's site, so here's mine. I put a U-shaped wire through the middle of the wings to help support the shape. That's helped me reshape the model a couple of times after it was accidently crunched. It went together OK, but I wish the resolution was as high on the white verison as it is on the grey one. There were 2 tiny parts I wasn't able to identify or place, so I left them off. I also think it needs a bit of tweaking around the top section engines. Looks good when done, though. Has anyone else here built one? I'd love to see a bigger one some day.

Sorry for the dark shots.

I just wish Jon, Rick, Bill, and Paul would release the .PDO file so we can fix those problems. :-/

Ah! I loved Guy's character! The one who dies to prove how serious the situation is! :)

I have one of these hanging from the rearview mirror of my car, the 'movie' version. :D

I hated that movie at first (watched it with my X) but then after forceful viewing umpteen times, it grew on me...

Looks good!

I just lent a hand in the process. Promised not to redistribute and actually deleted the pdo when done.

"Could those be the miners?"

"Yeah, they're like 10 years old."

"NOT MINORS, YOU IDIOT, MINERS!!!"

"You lost me."

Nice job.

This was one of the first models that I downloaded, but I never built it. I, too, had questions on some of the connections.

Any tips and techniques are greatly appreciated. There are a couple of parts missing on this model, didn't know where they fit.
