I agree with Don. And your newbie work is awesome! We are all newbies and learning all the time.
Keep plugging (or cutting) away! Dan |

I gave up with the parts in the kit and am now making them out of plain white paper with the intention of painting them once I'm happy with them. In the meantime I've started on the WAK MS 406 C1 as a bit of light relief! Regards Gary |

Doing a great job there may I say. We are our own greatest critic when it comes to these things. It's a learning curve. The main thing (for me anyhow) is to just complete the model. Luckily I haven't started anything very complex, but I do tend to get bored and move on to new models long before finishing the current one. So - at the last count - there are 7 uncompleted models lying around my boxroom! That said, I'm gonna finish my Boeing 314 today or tomorrow hopefully. Keep going, you're doing very well indeed, I look forward to following along here and see the completed article! Regards, Alan |

I must admit that I'm having a bit of a motivation problem is getting the D560 finished. I keep looking at it and thinking that I could have done this and that better - you know how it is I think. Still I will try and get it done, even if I see it simply as practice for further models. In the meantime here are a few photos of the MS406 C1. It's going together quite well and I've definitely learnt a lot building the other model. Most importantly I've learned to use far less glue and am now applying it with a sharp tipped tool rather than a brush. That way I seem to have more control over where it goes! What I'm actually using now to apply glue is a tool that is designed for removing wristbands on watches! It has a sharp point at one end and a small flat screwdriver type tool on the other - see photo. I've also moved away from using Swann-Morton scaples to Olfa blades which seem better to me.

Gary,
We tend to be our own worst critiques. No one else may see our mistakes but we know they are there. I recently started using the Olfa blades as well, they definitely seem of a better quality, more durable and reasonable price compared to other brands. Stephen
