Anyone built Waterfront Willies/Trackside Jacks?

If so, could you help me identify the corner boards? I'm defining corner boards as the boards that are at the corners(duh!...sounds like one of my sixth grade papers...The War of 1812 was fought in 1812[:D]) of the structure, where the walls meet. Either I lost them or they weren't included or I'm just not seeing them in the pieces I have left.

I've posted the instruction sheet included with the kit and I also scanned in the remaining pieces(this turned out better than I thought it would). I labeled the pieces as what I see them as when comparing them to the instruction sheet.

I know this is going to be one of those embarrassing things where they are right there or something[:I]

I put a call into Bars Mills Models but they are on the road and won't be in until next week.

This is real mystery to me because it seems like the corner boards are not even listed on the instruction sheet, so it didn't really do any good to compare the "parts list" with what's in the box as I usually do when building a model.

If anyone has built this(or has it unbuilt) maybe you could describe what the corner boards look like. I'm imagining something shaped like an L.

This thing has been on my bench since May and I'm ready to finish it up, and now this...Man that's just the way it goes huh? Probably some corollary to Murphy's Law...The longer a project is on the bench, the higher the probability of lost or missing parts.

Thanks,
Greg

I haven't built the kit, but if they are put on like in real life, they are simply straight boards glued on butting up to each other at each corner (making an 'L' ). Count the number of bracing boards for the pier, they may be 'buried' in that grouping.
