    Cool kit to start with, there are a lot of TL build threads to refer to, and there is the online instruction manual evolving on the PBG shop site. That has been compiled by the collective knowledge of some of the community’s ‘old hands’ so it’s a good starting point.
    And as always if you get stuck, post your problems in your build thread and the community will come out to assist. It’s a pretty neat forum, no naysayers, just helpful folks who want you to enjoy the build and creat something you can be proud of.

    And above all remember, there are no stupid questions, there is no screw up that one of us hasn’t already done, most likely more than once and and it’s your vision, no one can tell you how it should look better than you.

    I look forward to seeing what you craft.
