I fixed the pictures. You did not do anything wrong, we just have a funky server (one of four) on RCU. *IF* it's acting up, and *IF* you're logged on to that particuler server, the pictures upload at full size. I just deleted them, renamed them and re-uploaded them.
As for your comment, "This is going to take a long time"... Yes, it is. Kit building is not like slapping an ARF together. Try to get yourself into the mindset of: I'm working on a long-term project. Depending on how much time you can put into it, the build will take anywhere from 2 months to a year (or longer if you're really lazy
)
But two months is a pretty good estimate
