I am so happy I did not decide to put any paint on this one. I thought this would be easy-peasy. 123 pieces… 
Two hours in and I am on page 12 of 24. I think the hardest part is yet to come. I have opted to use my needle-nosed pliers for inserting screws first and then a NON- magnetic screwdriver to screw them in. The magnetic ones seem to make the screw go in all wonky…or it clings to the side instead of going in straight. Not many extras so trying to avoid losing one. I don’t think I am a fan of this sort of model. I got it because I am a Scorpio…OOPS.

This is such a cool build, I am curious how it moves. I can’t imagine losing one of those tiny screws.

Pliers are definitely an essential when makong these 
Looks like youre doing great though! Im excited for your future updates 
Look exciting
The beginning looks good already, @Nita_Davis. I almost always misjudge the construction I always think I’ll be done faster than it actually takes. Good luck with the final part 
There is no room for personal touches in this one. I can understand why it’s not for you. I am curious to try something like this. I am also not a big fan of magnetic screwdriver. The screw never seems to stay at the tip when needed.

Even if it’s not the type of build you usually enjoy, it looks really cool! I hope you’re having fun with it anyway — sometimes the unexpected ones turn out to be the most rewarding!

Haha, you will be a expert by the time your done like i am a electrician after making the spaceshuttle haha
Looking good so far!
Ha! I will take the space shuttle over this thing any day. At least you had room to move. All of this wiring is going inside the Scorpion. Not fun at all
