What is your weakness?

[Jay!]

What part of this hobby do you feel is where you still need to improve the most?

For me, I'm still having trouble with plain old painting. I have all the basics down, I just have to work on technique.... over, and over.... It's not so much polishing, I think, it's that I don't lay down the last coat of paint smooth enough and thick enough. I worry too much about paint runs...

hmmm.... I kinda got this whole genetic shaky hands thing, which is really bad when I'm tired so I screw up especially with glueing when I shake like that! :jump:

My weakest spot is probably getting the body smooth and shiny. I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Most of my models have a dull look with little shine.

windshields, i hate them!

[daggerlee]

Masking windshields, spraying metallizers, getting a smooth coat of paint from the airbrush.

Mine has to be applying myself to the task in hand effectively, i have so many projects started but not finished. My other weakness is doing too many models at once.

My weakness, Panel lines!! Gotta buy a gundam marker. And I have to stop cutting myself.....awww, don't cut toward yourself OUCH. Clear parts also get on my nerves. Dirty fingers~ nono, dirty fingers with glue!

Kinda surprised I am the first to say this, but patience is my problem. It seems only about half of the projects I start ever get finished. And the ones I do finish, I usually start cutting corners towards the end so I can get to the next project. And, I keep buying more kits!!!!
I am hopeless.

Same here bro.

1. I keep buying more than I can build.

2. I start three before I finish one.

3. Windshields.

4. Frustration when something doesn't turn out exactly the way I want it to (usually the clear gloss coat)

[Honoturtle]

1. Like tonioseven, I buy more that I can build.

2. Painting

Too many kits, never finished, although I don't have a lot of free time to work on them, and I spend too much freakin' time HERE! That's it.
