Jeroen Glazener Kit 615 PH-GLZ

Building since 2006, inspired by "A Plane is Born"- see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGuql9wpamY&list=PLlCESc-HXshlhPOOz9NHzNEEp-S3cK-Qj

I am not trying to repeat the blow by blow verbal and pictorial accounts of others, but to concentrate on things which I have found interesting, useful, baffling or frustrating. Hopefully that can help fellow propheads, but also make it readable for others. Above all I want to show that it is simply great fun and very satisfying to do!
Suggestions or comments welcome: j.glazener-at-planet.nl

I have arranged the album by Manual Chapter, with the odd interlude in between. However, that is also roughly the chronological order, so if you want to see me getting greyer, this is the way to do it.
