Gang,
Here's my latest 6-week opus: Aaron's 1/388 airship USS Macon. At about two feet long, it looks impressive on the shelf, but it's a definite three-footer (viewing distance). I'm not really satisfied with my craftsmanship.
I made my own joining strips in lieu of using the integral tabs, so I don't know if that had anything to do with being unable to get smooth, uniform joints. I used a couple of the formers, but they tended to distort the other end of the section I used them on. Most of the model is filled with my preferred substance -- toilet paper! :)
Anyway, constructive criticism welcome. I still don't really understand how papermate and Pericles get such seamless joints using integral tabs. I know one or both have explained their technique, but I just can't seem to master it.
