i guess its sort of a stumbling block sometimes, but i just got to go all out or not go at all!! ya know what i mean? it gets me into trouble sometimes and costs me money too, but i want every board or piece of trim that i cut for the houses i build to fit perfectly everytime! that ofcourse is impossible most of the time due to time constraints. i channel that perfectionists mentality right into modelling as well. it just irks me to see any kind of surface blemish or defect in my workmanship on my models. i guess thats why i have such a nice array of models in my airbrush fodder pile!! [:D] just gotta remember that im a rookie and you cant buy experience. later.
I feel your pain… i’ve had to abandon a build also, but because of really bad fit problems.
