Well, done and dusted
I'd have to say it was the most challenging build of all my Lego Technic model builds to date but so enjoyable. My next Lego challenge is to order some spare parts because on some builds there is a part missing, just sometimes. It would help and be handy to have a few common 'spare parts' to call upon.
I know I am really careful in the assembly process and the instructions provided are detailed for sure but there's usually one or two little pieces missing. Usually there not are not crucial, maybe not really necessary for the operation or look but for the completeness (is that a word?) I like them there. It's just me here I know
This last build, one of the final pieces, a red fixing pin (and there aren't too many of these in the set)(pic below) is somehow not there in the few pieces remaining. A little disappointing but the satisfaction is still there having completed the challenge

To be honest, I have never, ever had a part missing from any LEGO set.
I know a friend who has tons of LEGO had it once, but LEGO usually is quite secure in that.
So if you say there's usually parts missing, I'd start to question my own sanity if I were you :p
Really cool set though

me neither, and i have a billion sets.
however if you lose or break a piece you can get a replacement for free via the lego website.

Portland Maine or Portland Oregon? I drove through Portland Maine last summer and decided to crash in a hotel there. Had to be the most boring spot ever.

Are you going to grow a neck beard and man-bun, wear plaid and get a sleeve? Pretty sure it’s a requirement for being allowed into Portland.

Today I resigned from my job as Project Manager and accepted an administrative position for an M.E.P. Engineering firm. New job, new responsibilities, new opportunities, more money, sign-on bonus, car allowance and all the other standard benefits. Good move all the way around.

Made the decision to upgrade my 2015 Challenger Scat Pack to a 2018 Wide Body Hellcat. Currently stripping 4 years of mods restoring the car back to stock and starting over. Considering I just finished the car a few months ago starting over is going to suck, but I felt it was necessary. After looking into what I need to have my 430 RWHP Scat Pack to even match the Hellcat power I was looking at blowing everything the car earned last year on forged internals, Supercharger, exhaust, Tune, etc then hoping I don't break something.
Taking that money and putting it on a better base car was the best decision. Now I'm at 650 RWHP and able to take it to about 950+ RWHP without too much concern.

Yes, checked out available but a bit too late it seems unless I travel interstate
I should have followed and moved months ago.
