I agree with you, but there's a changing in the instructions what I don't like.
The instructions become longer and longer, and every step thrink to only a few
bricks.
This is maybe good for the smaller sets, but for the expert-sets it's horrible
I think. With the older sets you have to search a lot of bricks, and than you
have to look where these parts have to be.
I think the expert-sets can be build by non-experts at this moment. It isn't
difficulty anymore!!

Throw a bedsheet over the model, and only pull out parts to check their colors. 4. If you have a cat, sprinkle (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
