And the jeweler's have special desks as well. I am doing the sub-assembly shtick on this one, but trying to get some paint on them as I go. I've tried the assemble/prime/paint method before and had worse results than this way. There are too many pieces/parts in some of them. For example, this little decal:speedgraflex wrote:Ever wonder why jewelers use trays? It’s sort of the same effect with a t-shirt for me. It has to be big enough to create a landing pad. I’m mixing metaphors aren’t I? And hey my advice continues to be to sub assemble the major cockpit sections then primer gray or whatever base color is close to prototype then detail paint the sub assemblies. It was either Thomas or Torben who taught me the value of a good stick for support. I always white glue seats to toothpicks, to create handles for um handling, yes.
was to go on the "brow" of the IP. I assume it is the engine fire buttons and such. Then you put the hood over the IP. Why bother. The radio compartment is the same way.
