Wow. I actually went and looked at this. This may be the absolute high
point of presentation at the amateur level, EVER.
People NEED to check this out, even if they are not town modelers, to
see what is possible/creatable/publishable with our community developed
toolset. Some of the imaging tricks and techniques are just out of this
world.
I particularly like the 'adult' instructions. Unlike TLG instructions
which can be thorough and repetitious (add this 1x2 here. Now add
another one on top of it. Then another one in mirrorred position. Then
another one on top of THAT...) these instructions are short and sweet.
Nothing essential is omitted but the design is conveyed in about 1/3 the
number of steps it would take TLG to do it, because it assumes the
reader is an adult and can do mirrored assembly, etc.
Yet the instructions FEEL authentic. They have the look and feel of TLG
instructions. Many of the stylistic cues are the same. Axle lengths,
numbered steps, subassembly boxes with arrows, etc.
This is a clear CLSoTW nominee if it hasn't been already.
