Mr Blaack, thank you once again for the comments :-) I'm currently working through the instruction sheets, and having to create all the illustrations from scratch is quite a task! I use a lot of the parts from the model itself, though, which are 'skewed' in PS to an isometric view, which makes life easier, as does having the 'stock' of symbols and labels I created years ago to illustrate a build. But, as I'm aiming for the instructions to be totally wordless (there are numbers!) it can be a bit of a head-scratch to figure out how to say, in pictures, something like 'fold, don't score'....
My reasoning behind wordless instructions is that I have too many European kits with reams of unfathomable foreign verbiage that I frankly haven't the time or energy to translate!
The only downside to my method is that I wind up with around 50% more instruction sheet than model :-) Well, onwards and upwards....

Well, here it is!

Hello Friends The instructions took a lot longer than first thought, but anyway, this is my Ship as I imagined it looking all those weeks ago
The model itself is WYSIWYG, of course, and is printed mostly on glossy photo paper which is very thin and not easy to work with! But it really brought out the colours; backgrounds are downloadable PC wallpapers.
The model and instructions will soon be passed on for a BETA test (fingers crossed )

Looks good and interesting. Love your choice of backgrounds. Adds an air of mystery to the whole thing.

Thank you for your comments :-) Rhaven Blaack will be test building the beasty for me pretty soon, and having a look at my instructions to see if they fit the bill.... now I have a notion to have a go at something else, but just what exactly I do not know!
