Welcome, ShadowHawk!
Hey, ShadowHawk
Look at me, a newbie giving out advice...sign1 It's always good to hear from you, buddy! Did I mention I know your beautiful country?:mrgreen:
About the tabs, yes, they're exactly what you've wirtten. Not using them increases significantly the quality of the model, but also the difficulty of building it as well, unfortunately.
What do I do? Butt-joining, which consists of glueing the edges and holding them together until the glue holds. In places where I think the tension on the paper will be higher, I also apply some tape, but I did apply some "back tabs" (what you called "costum strips"). I have used all three techniques and combinations of them as well).
You can find tutorials about this right here in Zealot (why bother to look somewhere else?).
Wow Rogerio I think it's looking real good.
When I see your pictures I get this urge to build this magnificent model myself but I just have to restrain myself not to go to fast to soon.
You mention that you build this without the Tabs, are tabs those little glue flaps on each part ? and if so how do you glue the parts together then ?
I can see you get a more even result without tabs because of the thickness of the tabs raising the part that you attach. Do you use custom strips (tabs) at the back for glueing the parts together so you can slide the edges of the parts neetly together ?
Anyway, your Enterprise is starting to look great :thumb:
