For this step, you need two parts from the kit, and some styrene gule. You'll need the large circle with no hole in it, and
one of the thin washers. Do NOT use the thick washer. Those are reserved for the front of the pass.
One of the really important things about this step is making sure that you have the proper surface of the disk
facing outwards. I guess it's not super important, but I want the smoothest surface to be facing outwards. At the
beginning, I marked all my pieces to indicate which side was the smooth side.

Take your plastruct glue and brush some on to the thin washer. You don't want to soak the piece, but get even coverage.
Before it has a chance to dry, press it onto the large disk, lining up the edges as closely as possible.
When this step is done, it will look like the photo on the left. You've finished constructing the battery case.

Though not manditory, I chose to sand down the edges of the battery case here. This makes for a nice smooth edge. You
must sand carefully, and be sure not to introduce a bezel into the shape. When you glue the battery case onto the body, if
you have sanded it down too much, it will be too small in comparison to the rest of the body.
You can easily skip this step and just sand the edges once you get the body assembled.
