Supports? Are you talking about the hold downs? If you have a scanner printer you can also shrink the size of the hold downs from Greelt's launch pad, these work great for the plastic model, the only problem is height alignment with the swing arms. If you have the model you can set it in the HDs and match it with the first swing arm, if you get that aligned then the rest will fall in place. I had the same problem with the HDs that come in the model, even after beefing them up with foam board inside, this is why I went with Greelt's.

I did beef up Greelts with thin cardboard inside, going with stricty paper on either just isn't enough...at least for the plastic mod. Anyway it will be interesting to see this LUT with the milkstool, I haven't seen the educraft Lut with one.

Looking good. I noticed in the photo of the LUT that the main supports angle in where the fourth level attaches to the top of the angled section holding the first three levels. Mine did the exact same thing.

I agree that David has done an exceptional job making these kits. I was a little afraid of what he might think of all the changes I've been making to them in my build but he's been very supportive of the changes.

Nice work on your build.
