Build a 35mm TLR

I got this kit off Ebay for a tenner to build a simple 35mm TLR. It said build time was an hour but it took me longer :)
It is a dead simple leaf shutter with one speed setting, and the aperture is controlled by removing a disc from behind the lens. The same disc can be used for a Lomo effect if placed in front of lens. I have yet to run a film through it, though suspect my T90 has nothing to worry about. (sorry about poor "phone" pictures) The whole kit comes in component form, requiring assmebly of the simple shutter, film spools, focusing screen etc. Ideal for a youngster to see how a film camera works ( a youngster would build it faster too.)
