As I stated, the first thing I have to do is build what Nobi has designed for me.
Not only to test the assembly of the model, but also;
to make any necessary changes to the base model (before I start modifications),
to examine areas of the model that will receive modifications,
and to familiarize myself with the model itself.
Unfortunately, I cannot restrain myself...and I have already started making some changes as I work.
(If anything, it will help speed up the next stages)
So, I've already started to layout out my basic pages, rearrange model parts to fit, etc.
I've also made up the tabbed joiner strips I will need.
Just printed up the first three pages of parts...and away we go.
