Nice one, it always takes me longer than I think it will to build meccano models.

It really does. I was amazed when I started playing with meccano again. Either I was quicker as a child when my fingers were not so fat, or I just didn't worry about the time so much.

Worth taking your time over it though so you don't have mistakes (or so many) to correct later.

I always have mistakes and its usually in the worst spot that requires partial disassembly to fix.
