just to put in my 10 cents,.while my modelling skills are by no means perfect i do not use any extra parts when i build.the ONLY exception is when i strenghen things such as masts,undercarriage struts and prop blades inside using toothpick.for me personally the WOW factor when i show my models to friends is the fact which they struggle to believe that the whole ship,aircraft or whatever started life as a book or sheets of paper.this is just my way of doing it and to each their own,.i love the look of awe i get when i show a model after showing flat sheets of paper then explaining that everything they see started out life as a piece of paper.
