I saw those gaps, I had a hard time seeing the walls and I don't yet know how to make the invorment lighter. I'll do much better on the next one.

No worries, you did great. It can be difficult to get the right angle to view those gaps at first. An environment gizmo can help you change the lighting, check it out.

It was interesting to build this world. I was able to add some assets. I would love to see a writeup on grab anchor points so that I can figure out how to grab things at specific points.
