Well I wouldnt go that far.. But I guess, I have just learned little tricks in the way I do things.. Alot of people really take the hobby very seriously, and so take their time when building.. I do it as a form of relaxation and expression!..
I have a saying, if you are not going to see it. Then dont spend time on it.. Also some people like to let paint dry for a whole day or week.. I simply allow my paint to dry properly, dont feel it necissary to wait so long, so I can get paint jobs done rather quickly..
I also build to my own tastes.. I have no desire to put my work in competitions, and so although I think my models turn out good, I dont feel pressure if the paint isnt exactly right, or there is a small scratch or mark somewhere.. People who look at my models never notice things like that, so I simply dont stress about it..
Also, I get sick when I smell the fumes of normal model glue.. So I use super glue to build my models, and so dont have to sit around waiting for stuff to dry.. It also allows me to get parts together, and not have to use putty as much.. If its a small seam, I super glue it and then sand.. If it is a big gap, I then putty.. But that is not very often..
Lastly, I spend the most time on a model in the preperation stage.. I go through the instructions back to front, and back again, and I work out the fastest and easiest way to build it.. I then set myself up an assemply line, I always keep stuff moving.... This is the part that no-one see's... As I have stated before, thats why it looks like I do alot of work at once.. But in all honesty, I have 2 or 3 half built models sitting for months now, still yet to be finished.. When the feel hits me, they will be done, or I am working on something similar..
Thanks for your kind words Bud.. And no, I am not paying you!
