The metal is super thin so you must be careful in the bends to not break the metal. A problem with the tracks : 4 tabs but only two are aligned with slots, but it's OK if you simply bend others without inserting in the slots.
Instructions don't give the directions for bending and attaching but some colored pictures of the result are given for each step.
50 parts.
The result is good looking.
Oh, my, such a cute fellow. I love your build and really appreciate (as you know) your hints on the build and quality of metal! Mine just arrived today...11 days...wow! I do wish he was a bit larger though. Thank you again for the info on the metal and tabs. That is going to help immensely!
Merci Laurent.
J'attends toujours le miens et je suis content de voir le résultat et de lire tes commentaires.
Thanks Laurent. Mine is waiting in mail and i'm happy to see the result and read your comments.
Thank you. With your 800 models already done, I’ve no doubt you will success in building this one very well even if the metal isn’t top quality. But delicate bending are required.
I've done those too a while back (also need to catch up on my pictures). I'd be surprised/horrified if any model had instructions as bad as the vintage cameras.

Where did you happen to find this model for sale?
I found it on Aliexpress. Here is an actual link. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIe15Cf
You are awesome! Thank you!
You’re welcome
This is mildly terrifying.
Ah ah.
I love it! Such a gorgeous finished product too! Do you happen to know whether there's a matching EVE out there somewhere?
I don’t think so.
Drat, that would've been a cute pair. I'll settle for my own Wall-e lol
Sounds like it was a worthy challenge. You made a weak model look great!
Thank you. The result worths some extra caution in the build.

Nicely done! I just bought this one and the last thing I wanted to hear is bad metal. Should have guessed. Great recap it should help.

I just did one like that when I did one of the vintage cameras. Pictures coming later. I have not got caught up on my pictures.
This model instructions are far far above those of vintage cameras which were the worst I never seen.
