I'm thinking of building TOW's Brown Bess kit, but the lock assembly looks quite advanced. How difficult would it be for a novice (1 build) to tackle?
 
I don't think I would advise learning on the bess flint lock. You will goof up,& can be costly. You can make a lock that tuning & geometry? & Drilling perpendicular holes is critical. I would recomend a silar percussion for the first time. Education isn't free, I have a bunch of parts left over when I goofed up making my first locks.
