   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 (...) (26 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)
