It looks bloody massive to me.

I think he’s saying that it looks like it wouldn’t reach the front of level 1 but as has been said, it might be the angle…!

So another third in length will be added in-situ ?

I think that will be an ecumenical matter, Dougal.

Cropped this from sskies video #2 yesterday - what an absolute stinking mess of wires and cables up there, I hadn't realised that 4 of the 6 temporary poles are split to go around the existing cablenet support wires, literally the cablenet wires thread through the middle of the yellow poles!

Structural Reverse Kerplunk.

Feck it.

 

[Coatigan]

Is it me , or the angle , but it looks very short ??

There is another 3rd of it to go. I pointed that out when they were on the ground, they seem to be only doing that to the point of the brace between them, the big cross span below. Think they'll do the final third once they connect them, and the last bit needs connected to the cables.

Some poor ****'s gonna have to walk along that beam between those rails soon.

Thank you coatigan makes sense now !

Do you think they'll have to have something on the pitch to lift and steady the final thirds of each beam?

yes indeed , bad photo because of the sun but you can see someone doing exactly that

Why do you think they’ve not done the full beams? I think they did with the south stand. I’m wondering when they will even attach the front part.

Great shot and good for a sense of scale too.

No, you hit the rivet on the head.

The sun? In Manchester? As a certain individual, who's been in the news lately, would say; fake news.

Lego is so much more technical now, than it used to be.

I wondered if it was to do with the propping, as they can't seem to get far enough forward. On the beams on the ground,,you can see the connection ends for beam to beam bracing, chunky stuff. I don't think the front third will happen till the new cabkes are on back to the pyramid.

For me, Lego lost its way after doing kits with instructions. In the old days kids used their imagination. Hope this project has instructions and appropriate kits though.
