Hi, So then then - here we go! I'll attempt to keep this running through the build either issue by issue or probably more likely by each delivery. I purchased Issue 1 in WH Smiths on Saturday 31st December 2016. I subscribed on Monday 1st January 2017 and by Saturday 7th January 2017 I'd received my first delivery - Issue 2 and Issue 3.

I'm with you Lee. Just placed my order and looking forward to the first installment. From what I can see of the kit, I really wouldn't know how to modify the existing kit so I think I too, am sticking with the basic build. Thanks for posting!
