Thank you
That is a rectangle of styrene glued on and then tissue paper with white glue moulded overtop to make it look like how he would wrap his packet up in his sleeve.

Scott-This is a stunning progress build! I am blown away by all the work/corrections/modifications you did. Also, the different skill-sets used like 3D printing and machining are incredibly impressive. The build looks great and you should really be proud of yourself for finishing such a complicated and demanding build.
