Thank you Maarteen for the kind of words! Yea...they will test everything possible what may get in their golden hands. Until they start crawling, I guess I am safe.

...one of my big problems, is the size of the blocks used the kit supplied ones are to small, I have ordered larger sizes waiting for them to come in

@donfarr Hi Don, larger size block might not be a good idea. While they will be better to work with, they will be out of scale. Depending on the rigging line you will use, they might look out of proportion which might make rigging appearance bad. You probably better stick with blocks sizes supplied by the kit, as the suggestion.
