Had a moment op peace today in between 2 birthday visites. The combination op the little screws,plastic sheets and wood is really nice and easy to work with. There is also a tool inculded that makes sure the dept of the plastic rings is correct.
Blast off!
It’s going to be so cool when done. Hope it all goes smoothly!
I love when you need a tool, like for specific depth, and they include the little tool in your kit as a cut out! Its so clever! 
I hope you made a bit of progress today!
Enjoy your build, but as you describe, the instructions are fortunately always very clear
Now on page 8 of 30 something so long way to go yet.
For now no hickups so hope it keeps that way. Most important is everything moves correct in the end.
Checking systems and playing in the simulator for now haha
Sand and wax and then wax some more. Never a bad thing to do with moving parts. I don’t mind it all. @Jerry_Boswijk I sand between each and every gear tooth.
Thats progress! I love a build that takes me a little longer! Always makes me feel like im getting really good value for money!
This is interesting for me. Im about to install my first gears! I started the melody christmas tree yesterday! I will make sure to sand and wax them all!
Absolutely a MUST! @Nectarines
Two birthday invitations! You must have had a really wonderful weekend. 
Can’t wait to see the space shuttle once completed
Can I see picture of the sandpaper and wax you use for puzzles? I am curious as to what it looks like.
That looks like such a relaxing build! I love how the mix of wood, plastic, and screws comes together, and it’s great that the instructions make it less intimidating!
