You did pretty good with 6 hours of building time. I guess I mess around
too much when I'm building. I think it took me 8 or 9 hours to complete it.
That's with watching tv, munching on snacks and such!
I didn't have as much trouble with the tablet part. I bumped it once and
had to replace a few bricks. I had much more trouble trying to figure out
parts of the head when the layer wasn't even. I wanted a 3-D view from the
side a few times to make sure I was doing it right. I think I was just
getting a little brain weary by then. Did your fingers get sore? By page
50, I was hurting!

| (...) You're right, the back of the head is a bit weird. I never noticed it. I only dropped a part into it one time. It took a bit of shaking to get it back! The most aggravating part was keeping the very first parts of the tablet from falling off (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)
