Couple starts last night

I printed up a few models to play with and stupidly thought no instructions because that's me lol why bother with instructions? 


Tried the Japanese made German phantom kinda got stuck because I don't know what's where so well I "think" it's simple enough if I worked I could get --also with this one I decided to put packing tape on the back to stiffen it up some and it helped a little but I couldn't glue it remotely easily 


2nd was the f18 and I pulled one of my models out but again I think I'm gonna need the instructions 


And an attempt at a c130 and yes that nose is truly terribles aside from that there is the basic shape there --aside I could have likely gotten the fuselage started and wings/tail done along with some of the engines before I had to reference instructions (yes I love herkies friend did great things) so perhaps I know them a little better? 

Overall: tape can be used to thicken but should prolly be where you aren't glueing or folding so that depends on the model aside from that for the time I'm gonna keep printing on the lazer to save ink till I feel I'm at a place where I will do well with thicker from the inkjet but atleast arm the thicker papers I have if I recall are more/less along the lines of my normal paper

Update to my little world

Ok so I finally got some brass/brads I also found out the plane I was gonna put them on was WAY too small for them so I'll have to enlarge and reprint that one luckily I know how to do that lol 

I also have to finish with the ones I printed on thicker paper but atm I'm finding the reg paper is possibly the best option for me as I'm just starting out and it's the same to me as the thicker papers (plus my laser printer hates the thicker papers) 

In outher news my phone got wonky on me (wifi) I did all I could Apple ended up replacing I noticed that had some inner screen cracks so they replaced the screen on that one for me and I still love apple --I'm considering getting the AppleCare because of that but I know they make great products!
