The man who has done those amazing models of the cross sections of the HMS Victory, an interview, but before I wanted to highlight this section - Q. OK, mate, the million dollar question...tell us about one (or two) of your modeling secrets!
A. "It is not really a secret; you have to take time to build something worthwhile. What I have learned is patience. If in making a part and it doesn’t come out right, make it again. You may have to make it a few times before you are pleased with it.
Do your best, based upon your present abilities. Setting deadlines to finishing something is likely going to lessen the quality and enjoyment of your work. I also limit myself to about 5 hours a day for model building. 5 hours is the upper limit. Most days I work 3-4 hours. If I do long hours, my quality seems to suffer due to mental fatigue.
If I am making a model and using a kit as a start, I often find myself making parts to replace the kit supplied parts. I find more satisfaction in such building and many times I can make a part better than what was supplied. Never a true word spoken.

I was wondering why I liked modelling so much - NO DEADLINES.
