Thanks for the review Bethar!
I'm not taking "no camera" for an acceptable excuse though!
Um, what exactly would you like me to do about it? A sketch, maybe?
The outer stringer does take some patience and it isn't too forgiving if you have mistakes or misalignments in your steps I agree. In my experience it comes down to how accurately you made each individual stair. I cannot recommend the lego jig method shown in the hints and tips pdf file highlt enough. Did you use that?
Alas, I do not have any small children and therefore an excuse to have lego bricks. I had some at one point in my childhood, but I expect my parents got rid of that a while ago. I attempted to fudge something, but it wasn't too successful.
Oh, and when i say "let it dry thoroughly" in the instructions - ii really do mean thoroughly!

You're not a proper modeler until you have glue on 4 of your fingertips and you've sliced off the other one!
I am beginning to learn...
You suggestion about the roof i've already implemented for the next batch, with the cut out for the dormer being on each end of the curve of shingles, so there are no joins except where the shingles meet the dormer !

Cool.
How did boxing in the stairs go? I've not actually done that yet. The template i supply in the instructions should work to fit behind the stringer, so i'm interested in how that worked out without the stringer in place?
Yeah, I was going to use the stringer, but when I realised it didn't fit I cut a slightly larger piece of card and cut the steps into it, in a "Bodgit and Scarper" fashion.
Would you like some spare handrail bits?
No it's fine, I just stuck the extra bit to the two I'd already glued together. It looks fine. Apart from the inherent wonkiness.
Would you like a job being my non-modeling tester for every kit? Its a role my son currently has but as i wont let him play with superglue and sharp knives yet, he's a bit limited.
I can imagine that makes building anything quite difficult! It depends on your timescales - I'm not the most organised, and from the end of September I will be quite busy with going back to university, but if you don't mind extreme slowness I could give it a go.
WOW a woman said "Brandlin is always right" you made my day!!
I really have to blame the two glasses of wine on an empty stomach for that one.
