Looking good! I built this one as a Valentine's day gift for my wife a few years back and it is now sitting in our china cabinet, still the only model I've built that is allowed to be displayed downstairs in with the livingroom/diningroom decor. It goes together quite nicely - the only parts that were a touch confusing being the legs which I see you're quite capable of figuring out. I built mine at about 2/3 size by printing 2 sheets per page, so this should be quite spectacular when built. Keep those pics coming! :D

Nice looking so far. I built one a few years ago and got a lot of good reactions from it.
One thing I did to disguise the fold line was to lightly sand them using one of those foam emery board then use a variety of pencils and paints to color in the sanded areas. It turned out nice.

Very nice! That was pretty involved for a first model too. You did it proud. Congratulations! You are now officially addicted.
