Today I promised Ivan I would help him position and set up the cameras for recording an episode of his podcast, so I went to the workshop. The plan is actually to record there, but since we still have no sets, he is recording in the neighbouring studio belonging to his girlfriend, Kamelia. While I waited for him, I decided to see whether I could do anything on Cruella.

From this point onward, unless stated otherwise or obvious from the context, all abbreviations use the Latin alphabet.

I looked around for a bit—there is hardly anything left! Just the three machine guns in the steps below.

So, step 13:

Here I was supposed to assemble the remotely operated machine gun. I can safely say that the only “drama” was gluing on the little handle A30—everything else was straightforward. Well, attaching the machine gun to its mount took a little effort too, but I managed it. I have not even glued it to the mount, so it can still move…

This was even easier—I chose the version using parts A28, so I would not have to get frustrated with the little handle A30 again, twice this time. Again, they are not glued to parts A11, so if I feel like it, I can easily assemble two more machine guns of the other type.

So, after about 35 minutes of work, this is where I got to:

I will check again to make sure I have not missed any parts, but it looks as though it really is time for the airbrush…
