I was concerned about trying to mate the two boards and while keeping all of the gears in place; but, they mated flawlessly (following Ju...

Re: Missing Parts

Re: Received my kit!

I also received my kit! I agree that it was packaged well; and, I might note that I received the color as ordered (avocado teal with a silver bell). This evening, I began a bit of the assembly.
