It looks really good but there are a few comments I'd like to add.
There's not enough contrast within the black pieces. On my monitor it
just looks like one large black POOP rather than several black pieces
stuck together. LEGO uses a dark grey in their instructions, with a
heavy black line to show the outline of the piece. I'd recommend
doing the same. Using a darker background should make it easier to
make out the details as well.
Also, I think that in terms of navigation, it's a good idea to number
the steps rather than use arrows. It's not clear whether the first
page shows 6 steps or 3, for example.
Instead of having "Page N of 16" be the link, I'd show that as regular
text with "Previous" and "Next" links to the left and right of it. Or
do like Goooooooogle does, with a link to each of the 16 pages.
