Very cleanModeling is great when, as you said, you're not only in the groove but everything fits/works well the first time around

So true. You come up with a plan. But during execution it never goes as smooth as we would like. One thing that has been a game changer for me is switching over from thin CA to this Tamiya Extra Thin Cement. Construction is much cleaner and assembly much smoother.

Looking great Blitzkreig.

Could you explain a little further about how you are using the "little metal ruler" for shaping styrene?

Thank you.

When i carve with the ruler. I just hold it at a 45 degree angle to the surface and drag it over with light pressure. The fine edge of the metal does all the work. Get ya one of these 99 cent rulers and give it a go.

So cool. This has to be one of my favorite small ship designs in all of sci-fi.

 

[Blitzkreig]

Totally agree
