As the day progressed, things improved. Monday started out a bit rough but I got my act together. Here are some more tips as building progresses. As I stated in my last update, be sure the grey handle is facing the right direction when you screw it on to gear. and hang on to it during initial few tests or it will get stuck in big gear. (piece - X 3, page 7).
Moving ahead, when securing walls J9 and K4, be sure of location of that same grey handle set up.
otherwise you have to unsnap that floor. It locks into some fragile pieces and you do not want to break those! Luckily I had success there!
Here is my progress as of Monday afternoon!
hi, this looks so hard to build It has alot of mechanical parts it looks like.. But you doing a great job with this build. I cant wait to see the end result
Oh Jeanne…I am sorry to hear that you have had such a hard time with this one. I am sure that all of these tips will be very valuable for future builders. Thanks so much for sharing them.
These are such helpful tips! That grey handle definitely sounds like something worth double checking before moving on, and I’m glad you managed to avoid breaking those fragile pieces. Thanks for sharing your progress and saving other builders from the same headaches!
Thanks Nita! It is getting better! I am happy that even with the mistakes, I am able to figure through and every test (6 so far) things have ran smoothly!
