Thanks for the tip, David. Your build thread is one of mine main references
I'm still considering several options to approach outer shell assembly.

Thanks guys!

Eventually finished outer skin! This part was twice harder than inner one, though i had power structure to glue it on.





After a lot of thinking i decided to glue parts separately.
So, first of all i cut all the parts and folded-glued all curved ones. This gave me some picture how will it sit on top.



Then i started from gluing upper part, because i could position it by openings.
After that glued right side - rear and then front. I used white glue, because it softens paper and i could smooth out all petals in curved corners.
I did not painted edges to give it more tight fit.





Finished with right side and moved to left. Frond edge was hardest part to fit...





When i done with big part a glued remining small rear one and finished with lower rear parts. They also were glued separately.





Took my water colors and gently brushed-wiped places where some white edges popped up.
I can't say it all went perfectly but i satisfied with the result done by one shot.
I defiantly have no mental strength to do it again more accurate
If you ask where is number 12?! Well, i decided to assemble polish version, so i stick to all parts that marked with it and they had clean turret with no numbers on it.

That is some tidy, skilful work - I can see why you would not want to do it more than once.
