I got sent a link to this video, it goes for nearly 14 minutes and has no sound but it is worth watching to see how some things were put together at the factory.

I dunno where to start there's so much that could be commented on...from the bright new uniforms given to a lot of the line workers for the camera, or the mix of new and old technology in the way they are assembled.

Also interesting is how the blocks are actually painted dark green before they are assembled, and then painted again..which would seem to be a waste of time considering the amount ofmasking you would need to do prior to painting the bare block....
