I gave George some bacon. It's nice to have blueprints before you even get the model. Then you can spend more time figuring out the assembly pattern.
Honestly, some of those blueprints are arranged like: Assemble A, B, C, D, then add assemble E, F, G, and insert them before you complete Step D. "You know, you could have told me that before I glued everything together and have to slice into the model to undo everything, and it's now jagged and stuff!"
