In looking back over the last three months, I can see that my techniques have changed a good bit (due to the great advice of the forum).
Building a rocket a day (in a couple hours from bag to pad, painted) is neat but it doesn't lend itself too much to some of the high quality builds I have seen.
I now fill my tubes, I let the glue dry before painting , I sand a lot better and have actually thought about wet sanding (god help me), I will clear coat a rocket. Fillets are not just something you eat. Slowly but surely my skills are building. I did get lucky on some of my early kits in that they looked pretty good...but it just raises the bar for the next one.
What about you?
