I believe that the most important tool to have in the construction of a model that you can be proud of is the one sitting right between the shoulder blades. That is correct, folks. It's your head. Use your head to process ALL of the senses that pass information to it while building the model. And one thing that I must keep reminding myself of..... BE PATIENT!!! I can't tell you how many models I ruined or almost ruined because I was impatient to inspect a gluing job or a paint job. Allow everything to dry and set as per recommendations.
Of course, when you're a novice in the WW I build department, like I am, don't be afraid to imitate the build plans of the modelers you most admire. Imitation, after all, is the highest....., well, you know the rest.
