What parts of modelling are you best/worst at?

mine would have to be the talent competition. lol....fermis!

i would have to say my best has been my figures (and that's only based on opinion...and not mine) worst would have to be getting a good weathering on my armor.

Im worst at gluing parts, I have yet to find a system to get jsut enough glue, always to much or to little. 

Im also horrible at deciding when it was ready to be painted.  Im having that problem with my L4D dio, I think one of the figures is ready but I cant bring myself to do it, just in case... 

Probably trying to attach parts with tweezers. I am fine when dry fitting but as soon as I start using glue, I'm shaking like a dog crapping razor blades. My shaky hands are the main reason that I buy canopy masks whenever I can.

Regards,

Jeff

And Fermis, thanks for not posting any pics to prove your point.

worst at AB, still dont have the hang of it

best at hiding new kits and feeding the stash monster without the knowledge of the wife

master of the "double stack" technique, in which she sees ONLY the front kit, not knowing there are two other boxes behind that one.... i know, i should write up a tutorial for that ;)

No question about it. Seam work!

None of my family/friends notice them but when I look at one of my models its like a big ole ripe zit!

Got any recommendations for a good shrink?

Practice makes perfect my friend. Seams can be a PITA but with practice you will be an old pro. 

My strong point seems to be airbrushing but my weak point varies from build to build. Just when I think I get good at painting, a have trouble with seam work. Then when I get better at seam work, I do terrible with my decals. Then, when I nail down decals, I can't seem to pull off realistic weathering. Then on the next project, when I've weathered it convincingly, my paint job looks aweful. Then when I get good at painting......you get the point. But thats the way it is for me.

My weak point.... I think decals... don;t really like them, they wrinkle, they silver, I useally try to find models without much decals (no F-4's with loads of stencils for me)

Strong point, building, making the plastic work and detailing with scratch parts (maybe not really a strong point but I really like doing that)
