  1. Looks a decent instructional exercise, tragically two stages (stepson and 12) have pictures missing so we can't perceive what you did to get any impacts. Additionally, a portion of the stock is never again accessible, yet we can work around that.

  2. Looks a nice tutorial, sadly two steps (steps11 & 12) have pictures missing so we can't see what you did to get any effects. Also, some of the stock is no longer available, but we can work around that.
