Always great to see the 990 progress. The pins and locks look spot on Steve.
I think the broken keeper is perfect! I look at a pin like that it tells me, that one went dry seized in the bearing and the pin tore the lock off and was repositioned after repair....another touch of realism

Just wait a few years when you can't see and your hands are shaky and then try the little parts. Hopefully it won't happen to you but enjoy things while you can. Nice touch on the detailing of the small parts. These things make a model.
