"Enterpriser" you're pictures are much larger than life, and the misfits you have show are so small, this Farro Basso will be a text book quality build when finished. :)

Thank you so much, Zathros! Comments like yours are so very nice . . . :yesyes:

For now, I'm facing some dificulties with the octopus' legs, but I'll win him! :fight: But, as I'm going to a work out this weekend, next week I'll show what I'm doing to resolve this "obstacle". I'm confident that it will be "past" soon.

See you, all.

O sad . . . I'm no more undercover . . . I was discovered by my wife!!!!! :sadno: (see thread #1) She's very nosy and saw my photos at my mobile . . .:headbange:. But she loved to know about my wedding "surprise". Unfurtunaly my Faro Basso will not be completed at next September 2nd, our 10th wedding anniversary. But, now I can cut a several parts at home while I assembly that parts at work!

So, lets get the work, guys!!!!

But, as it is a Uhu model . . . it looks like a "heals itself" while the assembly is in progress!!!!!!

To me, it's a great relief that makes me see to the next days with a strong faith!!!!

But, inside the things aren't very well, maybe for on my part miscalculation with the "octopus". It makes me do some "ajusts" to gain a tab along the body to glue the next partas . . . sorry, guys . . .

My dears,

After a little "long" time, I can post some photos of my tiny progress. As you can see, I have some problems with internal side of the model, and I'm afraid with the consequences ahead . . . Specially at the left out side I'll face some difficulties: I saw that I glued one tentacle of internal octopus at wrong place . . .

When making parts like this, you must do opposing parts at the same time, or they will pull in the directly you did first. I have learned this from planking ship models., and you must keep the edges right next to each other Enterpriser, I think, in the end, you will be very satisfied, and many of the imperfections you have you will be able to form to where you want them, once the glue has dried. ;)

Hi @Enterpriser10, I'm also facing some difficulties at this point, just attached the internal octopus legs in, and shape seems a bit off. I may have problem gluing the next piece on the side because it doesn't seem to fit perfectly :/ I'll see what happens :hammerhead:

Sadie, do you have a build thread? If not, Start one! and post your pics there. Thanks.

I, Sadie. Indeed, this is a nevraugic moment. But I'd like the Zathros' s tips that I'll follow with next parts.

And, if you are assembling the same model, please, post it as suggested by Zathros!
