I have just begun step 6 (Roofwalk and Roofwalk Supports). This is going to take awhile. I have an addendum sheet to the instructions that says that "this is the most time consuming part of the kit".
Here is an early photo of the activity - I have installed 3 of the roofwalk supports (there are 36 in total):
I have attached all of the roofwalk supports for the "Lethbridge" cylindical hopper. However the roofwalk piece seems to be slightly warped and does not lie flat on the supports. I will wait until noon to let the glue set firmly on the supports before attempting to address this problem.
I have finished step 6 for one kit.

Attaching the roofwalk supports was not that difficult. But coming up with a solution to fasten the roofwalk to the supports took a few tries before I had something that worked.
It looks like I should budget one kit per day for this step. I still have 3 kits to go.
