Well, your building skill is definitely "reliant..."

Thank you sir!

Here are a couple of components that I forgot to attach to the underside of the "engineering" section.

Very envious of the clean build!! You didn't even snip the tabs, excellent building skills!!!

Thank you sir.
Too right you are. I did not snip the glue tabs.
I have a very simple "cardinal rule" when it comes to building models. That rule states that when I am building a model for the very first time, I build it "AS-IS". That means that I do not alter, augment, or enhance the model in any way shape or form (to include but not limited to adding greebling, snipping the tabs, or anything else). This helps me to ensure that I understand the template and how all of the parts go together, as well as to see how I can add enhancements, augmentation, and greebling, for the next time that I will build the model. Following this "cardinal rule" has helped me improve my building abilities and develop new skills and techniques to improve the models that I build.

Thank you sir. There is a GREAT deal of greebling potential in this model. I have been refraining myself from greebling it out (because this is the first time that I have built it).
