The plane came sans the signature humps that are characteristic of the "C" model.
I used a plastic rod, I believe 6.4mm and at this point, basic woodworking skills translate. I cut about 2cm of rod and using an industrial grade file, sanded 3 sides at 90 degree angles, essentially forming the shape of a block. I used the Xacto blade to shape the overall profile and then to smooth off, I used a variety of sanding film from a Testors pack. Ideally, work slow because its better to take too little than too much. The approximate time to completion would be about 30 to 40 minutes. I used GOOP brand adhesive (used for household applications and piping) to adhere the pieces.
