So I'm pretty new to doing this [building plastic kits] 'properly',

but for quite a while I've been watching techniques, tutorials, how to's, reviews, etc etc on putting kits together but not seen much that covers the 'whole process' of how others go about their builds.

The reason I ask is during my builds so far, I find my self 'building in to a corner'.

Now I do study the instructions before starting, and triple check before I glue anything together etc etc

but often times in the concentration on putting parts together I find I've glued something on that I would have liked to air brush on it's own before attaching to the whole build.

So my question is how do others 'keep track' of their builds, the parts that may need to surround other parts you'd like to attend to separately, what order do you do things in etc etc.

Hopefully this make some sense, just looking for some tips and insight.

I guess this covers 'Painting' and 'Construction' just seemed 'Construction' was more appropriate of the whole topic.

Thanks.
