I for one couldn't correct any items there as my expertise is confined to a few types which I have worked on and learnt most of the detail from the old hands on the other Forum and books I have collected , having none of the multiplicity of talents shared with me from other 's who new better than me and were generous enough to advise me when ever I asked the question causing me concern at the time
I wandered into modelling via the need to find a hobby that necessitated using my hands, once work was finished ,and I was mentally spent ,and I found I could unwind completely doing it and in doing so ended up with a half decent representation of the project I was building .....
Others who know me well already know this , and I only repeat it lest others think I am some kind of example to follow
Having now been doing it for more years than I care to admit to , I am able to admire others work and appreciate just how much research is needed to scratch build anything ! and the difficulty of making small things in big hands like mine so scale , hence the books , videos , Forum chat , and membership of local clubs .
My mentor, if there ever was one, was Sandy [ our dear friend who crossed the bar] , as he not only encouraged me but taught me to never throw anything away which could prove useful on a model with a little work ......Detail will help you convert a mediocre model into a great model by taking time and that little extra effort and the addition of little items on a model ......all of which made it stand out and the viewer more lenient over items which were not "Right on the money "
So in short ...I don't judge , but I always ask questions on a topic of interest to me.....
