Hi Ben,
It is nice to see how people use LPub to create building instructions. As
the author I've been curious how people use LPub as part of a process. This
helps me plan for future enhancements to LPub.

I was thinking about writing up a web page on this topic as well.

These look very nice and well organized.

Please note that since you started your process, LPub has come out with its
own process for creating these "called out" sub-assemblies.
LPub created this entire image by itself without manual intervention.

At some point I will add the option for arrows between callouts and step images.
The callout feature is the next big step in letting us do all that LEGO can
do with their building instructions.

The instructions look very nice. I look forward to reading your how-to.
Thanks for sharing your process with us.
