Do you think that something like that would help?

I think I have almost all Rob's digital models. His were the first I encountered after I acquired Paul Spooner's
Spooner's Moving Animals (which I still haven't built) which got me hooked on paper models and automata in particular.
I bought a few of Rob's models via mail order, then bought some when he started offering them as downloadables. When he started the memberships I signed up and have been a member ever since.
If I could I would go to this year's automata con. I just can't work it out right at the moment.
Some of the instructions for his models are better than others. I have been following for so long that I have a sense of how they should go together.
I am enjoying this thread immensely.
