The two skeleton's went together just fine and the same for the rest of the vehicle.
I made a base using 1/2" hard styrofoam then covered it with desert sand that I [...]

The wooden pallet represents the kind of "skid" that they put engine's on [...]
I liked building this, but the canopy gave me nightmares. Well, it is an old kit, soooo... but it is finished and nice. I'm glad I did a good job on it.
