So I am seeing a few concerns


1). Ink usage
2). Card stock waste


Based on this I've come up with this quick example of a new layout for the instructions.


I'll put the instructions on a separate file with any important annotations or info only going on the card stock plans.


The idea is to keep the instructions bullet pointed and less wordy, hopefully this setup should also be much more friendly on ink usage as well.

Looks better to my eye, although I'd ditch the outlined lettering. Looks hard to read, at least on my iPad. Maybe it is clearer in real life.

Yeah, I thought the first line read "ASSEMBLE MAIN BOY 3 FIRST". A font like Ariel or Times New Roman would be easier to read.

I plan too I did that as a quick fix as the original text set up was far too blocky for the size of the text.

Sorry guys work has been a big focus over the last few weeks so things have taken a little longer than I would have liked.


The instructions for the main model are complete; just need to do a proof read and some layout tweaks, the instructions for the stand and a front page / intro and finish off tweaking the plan layouts.


Not long to go now guys, honest


Have a good Christmas folks!





Example of the final layout, text, etc for the instructions any last minute tweaks or suggestions would be appreciated. As you may be able to tell this covers part of the Engine Bell build.

The teaser of the instructionsheet looks very good!

Meanwhile i did the Thachi in 1:250 scale.
Looks great, no problems during build.

Waiting for the Morrigan-Class....

Have a good christmas,

Wiwo
