Thank you sir, the complexity of the kit is amazing to me and probably my last great challenge. Each deck level, as I go up, may be smaller is size, but just as complex as the one preceding it. The kit manufacturer leaves a great deal to the builder to figure out from pictures and detailed CAD drawings how the various parts are to be assembled. It helps to have a parts catalog that relates to numbers on the drawings, so that you can get a photo of each part referenced. Does not mean that the parts are easy to find. I catagorized all the parts into type of material.. ie, bronze, brass, resin, etc. Still, some of the parts are so small that they can be illusive and time consuming to find. Patience and occasionally, they are just not there and have to be made from scratch. I could go back to the manufacturer and have him supply what I need at no cost, but the hassle and wait time is just not worth it, unless its a very complex part that I cannot make. Haven't run into that so far. I love the challenge and still estimate a two year build time. Since I am battling cancer, I just hope and pray that I will last that long. Dennis
