Tons of work, not much to show for it

Midway Gardens is a puzzle, one where I have to make the pieces myself and the picture on the box is incomplete. Consequently, things aren't always (read: never) going to be right the first time. I've learned a lot in the past year, and I'm constantly figuring new things out. But unfortunately, the model doesn't always reflect these changes because they are very time consuming to make. Back around the end of October, I decided to rectify this, and I still am updating things. It's been amazing to me how many things weren't centered, were off by a few inches, or just didn't line up. It's a little frustrating because I don't feel like I'm making any progress, but when this is done, I'll have a great foundation for the work to come; I know for a fact that the majority of what I'm doing here will not have to be redone. I'll post new images when I've got more progress to show, and I know everyone will be excited to see how the Midway Garden Club is coming along.
