I recently got the chance of assembling and painting 5 15mm WW2 German SdKfz 250 "alte" Halftrack Variants Kit from Plastic Soldier Company (PSC) when I came to the conclusion that assembly guidelines for miniatures are a must. You may do it well without them, you may convert you miniature, you may assemble how ever you want it, but sure it makes things a lot easier. This is especially true when you have a sprue supporting many variants of a model, like the 15mm SdKfz 250 alte Halftrack from PSC.
With a total of five variants (250/1 Troop carrier, 250/9 Recce with turret, 250/10 Command with Pak 36 and 250/11 Panzerbuchse 41), I think that PSC offered to any modeller through this kit, a really pleasure of assembling and deciding on yourself on what you want to assemble, paint and/or field in your wargame, which is a huge plus from other miniatures that come without those "unimportant" assembling guidelines. I think it's important to have them even if you can only make one model from a single sprue and no matter the difficulty of assembling. It made things easier, saving your time in order to dedicate it for coming to a decision on what variant to adopt, and then paint it.
To simply put it, the assembling guidelines of a miniatures are something that needs to be included (in the box along with the product or on the website, the latter variant used by the PSC in this case study) by every miniature producer, no question about it.
