As pointed out, Take your Time and Dry Fit all your parts before you Commit to Glue. Don't be Afraid too Ask Questions or for Help, this Hobby is suppose too be Fun. If you haven't already go too the Introduction Page and tell us about yourself, and if at all possible check into to see if there is A Club in your Area that you could join. All of us Hear are only able to give you advice on what you post, and if you are able and can afford it, try to invest into one of the How Too Books or Magazines these to will Help you Improve.
Keep Up the Good Work & Cheers. MIKE.
