The circuit board will be placed on bottom plate, so the model is turned over for completely assemble. The bottom plate and circuit board are hang on the celling with fishing wire and whole wiring proceeds.

After wiring and assembling body structure, silicon skins are installed. Whole silicon skins are divided into four parts and each parts are connected through prepared point to have same height from body parts. And silicon is installed on body part by tapped acrylic parts and bolt.
