Thank you!
BTW, I know what you mean.
Our admin Rhaven Blaack often builds a model to learn how the parts fit together and to understand the logic of the assembly. Then he would start to build the same model again, but this time he would greeble the heck out of it. Just look for "Detailed Buck Rogers Thunderfighter" here at zealot to see how far he goes.
When I am making a new model from scratch there might be some areas which would not fit or which would require adjustments. Rather than starting a new test build I take the existing one, remove the wrong structure and glue the revised one over the flawed one. In addition, I often use the back side of misprints to make my test builds. And I love cereal boxes which make for good laminations. In short, I am a member of the inofficial NWAPOCC ("Never-waste-a-piece-of-cardboard club")

I'm looking forward to your next builds. CU!
