Please help before I go insane! UCS AT-AT question!

[Jason1224]

I’ve been working on the new AT-AT and I’ve got an issue that I just can’t figure out. On step 111 it acts like I should just be able to push the belly down onto the frame but when I put the belly in place it just sits there. It’s so loose if I turned the frame over it would just fall right out. I can’t see anything in the manual or on the frame that should hold the belly in place. If you can help I would really appreciate it, this is driving me nuts

Can you send a pic of the step ? I recently built the set and I didn’t have any issues, you probably missing something somewhere

I know it’s probably something silly but for some reason I just can’t figure out what it is. Here are some pics of where I’m at, thanks for the help!

See those two yellow arrows , those are

pressure points. They should snap in there

I tried that but there doesn’t seem to be anything for it to snap into it just loosely sits all the way down in there. I can’t figure out which parts should snap together, just seems to be flat lego bottoms against flat lego bottoms

Here’s mine, still just can’t figure out at what point it’s supposed to be snapping in.

Check step 68. They should snap to the white studs. I don’t see them in your previous pic

I did have the side flaps on backwards but I’m having trouble finding anything else

Step 31 is wrong . You put it in the wrong way l. Studs should be facing up 

[Jason1224]

Oh my god your right mine were backwards!!! Thank you so much for the help! I was going crazy over here!

Happy to help. Enjoy the build 

[Jason1224]

Looking forward to it! Thanks again!

I made the exact same mistake on my build. The underbelly still fits and sort of stays in place but it’s loose. I too had the Studs facing wrong way. Flipped the studs and problem fixed.
