Very nice! Are you going to put lighting inside so that the interior can be seen?

Bitt pins that pass through more than one deck will vary in length to fit your particular model. Unless you can build with micrometer precision, every model will vary slightly from the ideal.

That looks good. You may wish to consider the grain of the wood you plan to use: it is weak across the grain and liable to break. Ideally the frames should be of more than one piece with the grain oriented for strength.

If it's any consolation, your first model is bound to include many 'oopsies',. That is part of the learning process, as is correcting those oopsies. As mentioned, you can always ask for replacement parts. Also, consider using clips and elastic bands rather than using fingers to hold things while they glue.

Whoever might be interested: there are many, many large sheets of plans in meticulous detail. Get them while you can! It's very generous to offer these for the cost of postage only, Bruce.
