Take your time...and for me, I only work on it when I feel like it. As soon as it starts to get frustrating or I want to finish something quickly to get to the next step, I walk away and pick it up again when I really feel like it.

Excellent advice!

Ronald, hi!

I like your well-equipped workspace. Doing what you love becomes even more enjoyable when you do it in a comfortable and cozy environment! I also want to compliment you on your choice of color scheme for your model. The colors all blend well together. I especially like your blue XF-18. By the time I asked you about it, I had already painted the case, otherwise I would have used this particular color. I used Russian-made paint, and I had to mix several colors to achieve a more or less accurate match. But it's what it is. In addition, I have a different material and color for the case. Now I'm also thinking about what color to paint the decor. In my opinion, the color should be somewhere between gold and ivory. The time has not yet come to make a decision, so I will be watching your experiment with interest. I am confident that it will turn out beautifully!) Good luck and happy holidays!

Sincerely, FriCap

Thanks Frecap! Yes color choice is not an easy task, because it can make or break a model in my opinion. We will see how it's going to turn out...will be exciting!
