Gather ye these parts, hither, forsooth, etc:
Start a'gluing:
Glue the KVII part to the back end of the assembly, which will serve as a guide for how far apart both M16 donors sit...
Shore up the front of the assembly by gluing this detail to the outer edges:
This glues to the underside - but does not fully bridge the span, so it glues to one side only:
Next up:
This runs parallel to the assembly's centerline (when glued to the Probe Droid itself) so it will be "crooked" compared to the angled front:
It attaches by slotting the "pin" into the forked protrusion and then also can be glued to the piece you just attached, previous to this one:
Almost there!
Final piece:
Now, I'm not 100% sure on the pipe diameter used, as these resin parts are slightly different from the donor kits, so this is a placeholder. There are three cylindrical protrusions on the bottom of the PD, and only two provided in the kit, so we'll have to decide on an appropriate tube to use. This is something I had laying in a drawer - Evergreen, I think?
Need to buy a thicker walled tube:
