The instructions were no problem. I’m flattered and taken aback (in a good way!) that you wish to use my model as a gift, really is nothing short of a honour (without wanting to sound too melodramatic :P). Seriously though, thanks :)
Yes, I had a little go at using LDD and found it would struggle with numerous areas. I assure you though, the physical model is fairly robust and is fully swoosh-able ;)
Ah yes, I think I know what you mean, I guess I should have made that a little clearer in the instructions... that part is what’s normally used as a flick fire missile in Lego sets (part 61184) There’s also a 1x1 round tile stuck on the end too. Hope that all helps :)
Feel free to modify it in any way you like! but do you mind posting a picture of it when its finished? I’d love to see it!
Thank you, for wanting to build this creation! :D
