Model Base
Take two of the 4-by-6-stud ring bricks, and join their narrow sides with two black Technic pins. Place two more Technic pins inside the ring in the center pins. Attach four more pins to the center-most holes, two in front, two in back.
Attach a 1-by-6-stud brick to the two pins on the front. Insert two more pins in the second and fourth holes on this brick. Attach a second 1-by-6 to the back of the model.
Attach a 4-by-4-stud ring brick to the pins on the front of the model. Flip the model over and attach a 2-by-8-stud plate to the bottom. It should cover the two ring bricks in the back and the edge of the front ring brick.
Line up a 1-by-2-stud brick with a Technic hole, and a 1-by-2-stud brick with a plus-shaped hole. Attach them using the phone-shaped plate. Insert this into the hole in the front-most ring brick. Insert a knob-ended Technic rod through the front to hold this piece in place. Flip the model back over.
Join two of the double-bent bricks with black Technic pin. Place one in the furthest hole on the long side, and a second at the point where it bends. Insert four blue hybrid pins into the ends of the curved bricks. Insert black pins into the third and sixth holes on both sides. Attach four 1-by-2 plates with beam ends on them to the long end, at the tip and the curve.
Attach the curved piece to the center of the three-ring base. Both beam plates should touch one of the 1-by-6 bricks. Place an L-shaped beam so it connects between the pins inside the ring and on the curved plate.
Attach a computer plate on the front of a 3-by-3 wing plate. Flip the plate over and place the top half of a 2-by-2-stud hinge onto the back, with the hinge part in the center. The narrow point of the wing should be on the left. Flip the piece over.
Attach the bottom half of a hinge brick to the front-center of a 4-by-8 tan plate. Connect the hinge pieces and tilt the console it forms downward. Attach a 2-by-1 plate with a single knob in front of the console, and attach an antenna onto it. Place a seat behind this and put a Clone Trooper figure in the seat. Attach this cockpit to the right side of the model, pointing toward the back.
Place a 1-by-10-stud brick with Technic holes so the narrow side points toward you. Insert a black Technic pin into the first, third and fifth holes on the left, and the last hole on the right. Place a blue double-pin into the hole in front of the last hole. Attach a second 1-by-10 to the right of this section and three more black and blue pins into the right side, matching the four on the left.
Attach two 1-by-2 bricks with Technic holes onto the third Technic pin. Flip the piece over. Put a black 2-by-4-stud brick over the bottom of the model. Place a 2-by-2 gray round plate and a 2-by-2 gray flat plate with a Technic pin slot on the bottom of the model, under the blue pins. The pin slot should face away from this piece. Cover the two gray pieces with a 2-by-4-stud plate.
Flip the section over again. Attach two 1-by-2-stud bricks with Technic beam bases to each side of the blue pins -- four in all. Attach two 1-by-2-stud plates with vertical bars on top of the two side-mounted 1-by-2 bricks. Place a gray 2-by-2 round plate between them, and a 1-by-2 brick with an angled handle in front of that, by the beam bricks.
Place a 2-by-2 clear green brick behind the round plate. Put the tan, curvy 1-by-2 bricks in front of this, covering the 1-by-2 on the sides, and touching the round plate in the center. Cover the top of this with a 1-by-4-stud red flat plate, and a round 2-by-2 round plate on top of the round brick.
Attach the two exposed pins on this section to the L-beam on the model. Attach a 2-by-6-stud plate across the top of the beam-bricks, and tilt them forward at about a 45-degree angle. Spin the model around and attach a second L-bar on the other side of the model, joining the four exposed pins on the model.
Point a 4-by-8-stud tan plate with the long edge facing you. Put a seat in the middle of the right half, facing the left. Place a 1-by-1-stud brick with a side-hook on the back-left of the piece, 1 stud from the left edge. Place another one next to that, and a 1-by-2-stud flat plate on top of the two. Stand two rifles in the hooks. Attach this seat to the model next to the L-bar.
Main Legs
Place a 2-by-4 plate perpendicular and centered under a 2-by-8 plate. Place a 2-by-2 round plate on the center of this X-shaped piece. Attach two 2-by-4-stud flange plates under the tips of the 2-by-8 plate.
Join two 2-by-3 stud wing plates to each other, so they form a trapezoid, using a 2-by-3 plate. Offset the plate on top of the wings so that it extends over the wide side of the plate. Make two units and attach them to the 2-by-4. This forms the base of one foot.
Place a large reflector dish face-down over the round plate on the foot. Attach a 2-by-2 round plate on top of this.
Insert two gray Technic rods into the ends of a gray Technic 30-degree connector. Place a Technic endcap on the end of one piece. Insert this foot bar into the hole in the top of the foot.
Insert two Technic rods into the ends of a 120-degree Technic beam. Insert two blue double-pins into this piece, one right below the pin on the shorter end, and the other one hole from the elbow on the long end. Attach the longer end of the piece to the top of the foot bar.
