After priming I needed to figure out where all the greebles go, which is part of the other delay. The 8 holes for the main upper hose mounts are great alignment marks, but the bottom sloped ring has 32 (THIRTY-TWO!!!!) places where stuff gets stuck.
There was no way I was going to guess very accurately where 1/32nd of a circle was, so I printed & laser cut some rings with ticks where the parts go. I could then mark the panels with a pencil.
Because I didn't have spots for the top, Savage gave me a top view that I did something similar with so I can figure out where the T pieces go. I'm not going to bother to post the template because the updated plans have cutouts for the T bits to be held in place.

Top Template since I didn't have holes
I've added holes and knobs for the laser cut plans so this won't be a future issue.
For the base's template, I went ahead and posted the files in case other folks want to print and cut them out. They're ~18x18" so you'll need to tile papers. There's also a version with thin black and thin blue lines so the blue ones can be vector etched with a laser - but they're harder to see, so I used the blue ones.
The template's in the file section:

Alignment Guides for Greeblie Placement
I used this to figure out where those 32 greebles go around the angled ring.
