    Would love to follow a fellow Australian modeler's build but without a comprehensible timeline (ep1, ep2, ep3) it's pointless for those trying to catch up on first discovery. This seems to be a normal practice worldwide, making it much harder for those of us just starting out.

      Hi John. Usually, if you go to their UA-cam channel and go to the video TAB, they are in order of video upload. So it the scroll to the bottom and start there, that should represent the order. Now, in my case, as I started a new channel and reloaded the first 11 to 12 videos, they are out of sync from a timeline point of view. But it's a good point that you make, especially in my case. It may be something to correct in the future..cheers
