 Hi up Johnny here and on this Mantic Monday we are going to be learning how to build some of the vehicles for firefight. Today we are going to be building the GCPS mule. Also available are the Marauder mule and the Plague mule but the core vehicle is the same building for all of them so let's get started. Okay so starting out I've been through and I've removed any flash or nubs and things like that shouldn't be there just the ones that are meant to be on these pieces. Take the main chassis and the back compartment now again with like this storm the stern hammer that we did the other week most of our stuff does dry fit really nicely clips fit clips together like this so you can be sure you've got it right before you plug a bit of glue on. Just go up and down a few corners and in those slots you'll see there is a little notch here where they line up and then just clamps down like that and then we take the front compartment this cockpit and again these have got these little pegs that just slot into these holes here. There we go and then in two side panels these again a little notch a little notch dry fit again just to make sure always best is to dry fit things first just in case there is a little bit of flash left on that you may have missed and then obviously just repeat the process on the other side then we want to take these two side panels and these go along the back make sure you've got this is the back with a little hole there so this is for this side that just sits in like that and then what you want to do is you've glued one side in so let's take your rear door and line up these holes so like so and if you line that up in there first and when you come to put this piece on you can get the other one on there and best still if you're careful we've where about you put in your glue it's on a hinge and therefore we'll stay open just pop that over like that here's a little fiddly trying to line the three different sections up that will go in like so and then your door can be left unglued like that to stay open and it is quite a once this is dry it is quite a snug fit so there isn't you can see that that's not falling down under its own weight or anything so there's no worry about needing to glue it so it doesn't fall fall down it will stay up like that once it's glued in place okay so now we're moving on to the suspension so I'll turn the mule upside down first you've got these suspension pieces like this and there you go on there and then there's another little hole up there so you can work out which side is which obviously by where the hole lines up what I found is if you pop that on first and then just slide that into place like so the same on the other side put that on first and then slide into position okay then on to the front suspension you will need these two pieces these two pieces and these two pieces these are the first bits you're going to put in place these little sort of elbow joints and they want to go and this hole here got a round nub and a square nub and the round nub wants to just sit in here so that I've got the right one yep that is sitting nicely in line like so do the same on the other side there we go then if you take these pieces this piece here wants to go in here like that and then there is also a little hole here a little square that fits in that square peg it's a sort of job I would advise trying to do relatively quickly and then one piece doesn't dry while you're trying to line it up and then it does make it a little easier if you need to you know for instance if this first piece is already set in stone and then you go and try and put this on you might find that it doesn't quite line up so if you do them while they're all still tacky you can then have a bit of manoeuvrability that went on a lot nicer than the other one there we go and then you've got your springs here this recess in this side fits on these spindles here and then your peg there goes in the peg in the bottom and again if it's still all a little tacky you're able to then push that down in place without breaking what you've already done there you go that is all the axles done so now you can move on to the wheels okay so with the wheels they will come as your tire and your rim I guess talking to car terms separately I've in blue Peter style done these ahead of time for UK fans that remember blue Peter basically that just pops in there I'm not even bothering with any glue because it's such a tight fit and then what I find is if you then push that down against the table you'll hear a nice satisfying pop and then they are ready to go then dead simple to fit these tires no need to call that a mechanic bit blue and they just pop straight in like so there you go that is almost complete the last few final steps have this front grille to put on here so you've got two little notches there and then these two pegs that sit over there like so this might actually be beneficial to put on before you start putting the tires on because then it holds these areas in place there you go and then we've got the back door it just sits in these recesses one final little piece of trim as it were is these safety bars these handlebars that just go in these holes here in here this little slice that's out here takes the bar on the back here pop that in like there spin that round into that section and then that should just fit into there there we go now on to the weapons okay so weapons wise we actually have a choice of two weapons and we have the auto cannon and the laser cannon and you get to be able to build both and switch them out so first of all you'll see you got these two like trigger handle sort of sections they do look very very similar but the inserts for them are different and match up with the backs of two rifles and then you can do the same on the other one like so and then you have these shield sort of armor armor plates the smaller set is for the laser cannon you'll see there's just these little notches on the other side that they sit in and then there's a little notch on there just sit on there of course these are the sort of thing that are aesthetic choices if you'd rather leave them off you can do that just sits on there like so and then with this one there's a slightly more prominent obvious groove down there on both sides for these to fit in the larger plate to the top you'll obviously be a lot more patient than me and let things dry before you start moving on or you might not be you might be just as impatient to get out there and play firefight and I would not blame you and then these just sit in this hole here and it's a nice snug fit if you leave that without glue and then you can take that out and replace it with the other weapon there we go that is one gcps mule all finished and ready for paint thank you very much and i'll see you again next time
