Thanks for the kind words!
I mused about making it a mini-series post but multi-part really doesn't go well with it's easy, you can do it!
I think I struck a fair balance between simplicity and thoroughness.
Next up I'll paint a 3d printed model, a friend of mine printed it on a home machine, so it's not ultra-detailed like the ones from HeroForge or ordered from Shapeways, should be fun :)
