Not something I wanted to do, but the way this has gone so far into the build has forced me away for a while. I need a rest.

When I started this, I ended up missing issue 2. Thought I could pick it up at Tesco's and started my sub from issue 3. Missed issue 2.

There is no back issue page for this tittle on the site, only for subscribing, so I ended up ordering it from a local newsagent - which took about 3 months to arrive.

I have no problem with the quality of the parts, I think they are great, on the whole, but the other day I noticed that the chrome on one of the window frames had come off. It was there when it was delivered, but not being able to attach it to something means it must have shifted during one of my trips home, and this has damaged the chrome.

I have no intention of going through what I went through for issue 2 to get another window, and even if I did, I have no idea how long it would last before it went again, so for now I am out.

I WILL start another subscription next year for this, starting at the point I left off, but I will now just collect all the issues and only start the build once I have them all so I can connect things up as I go.
