quick progress report -- getting smaller pieces attached before i start in on the masts, but came across something important --
DO NOT CUT CANNON PORT HATCHES OFF PLASTIC TREE until you are SURE you've noted where they go
they are NOT all the same -- each individual hatch goes to a specific hole
i made the mistake of cutting about 7 of them off thinking they were all identical, but each has subtle curves to match shape of ship exterior
took me about 30 minutes of switching them from one opening to the next to see which ones fit best where -- YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO IT THIS WAY, TRUST ME
So, follow directions to the letter and cut each hatch off as needed and make sure each numbered hatch part goes where indicated on instructions.
simple enough, but something i overlooked and now that's 45 minutes of my life i won't be getting back.
there were some other "fitting" issues, but nothing a little milliput can't fix.
next time i'll post some pics...
