So - issues 10,11,12, and 13 arrived on Monday and today I continued with the build. I know have half a head of a stick....ok...metal rod but you know what I mean! ** Edit ** Photos corrected - the dimensions were in limits - some of the files were over 150k so I've resized them.

In my build i had some that despite resizing to 600 pixcels they were still to big as regards file size so had to resize again to 400kb Happy Modelling

Issues 14,15,16 and 17 arrived in the week. Continued the build today. I was expecting the layer 3 metal base to be a pain t install but before I attempted to line it up, I checked the photos online. On the first attempt it slipped directly into place. Loving this build so far! LSainsbury attached the following image(s):

Dude I love your method for sorting and storing the hardware. I have been using ziplock bags. I think I may switch to your method.
