The pipes were made up, measured and trimmed to fit and then left aside while I got
on with building the figure.

Straightforward assembly With extra wiring to match up left and right,
one side was the lighting for the laser and eyes, the other side was just dummy stuff but it looked ok.

The plasma rifle, plasticard and perspex construction, was built and the wiring left with a small length
terminating (no pun intended) to be soldered later when fitted to the finished figure.
