Thanks very much for the kind feedback :redface

I hope that this build gets people to build the kit instead of it being loft insulation. Its not that difficult to build and even though it is quite old (1986/7 ish) it goes together really well. Its very good value for money IMHO. :cool
Only problem is ...where do you put it !
Dell boys idea of sticking it in the garden with a Clematis growing up it doesnt sound too far fetched :laugh:

...and taller too !

More progress which is being slowed down by the not so clear instruction sheet.
The problem being that sometimes you have no idea if a part is the right way up /down or back to front at times.
A simple arrow on the part or top/bottom would help a great deal but as it is Im sometimes taking the plunge and crossing my fingers :ohmy

Managed to add quite a bit to the shuttle bay change module but the part on the left I have left off purely because Im not even 75% sure I will fit it in the right place !
If I follow the instruction I would be fitting it in the wrong place , of that Im 100% sure ! :grin:
