What's your favorite part of model making?

Scratchbuilding, closely followed by research... I hate painting since I suck at it. At this point I mainly build ships/submarines and the occasional aircraft. Dave -

Thanks. The new CO makes me look super short. He's 6-6. It was an honor to have the reins of the Bad fool Battle Bass for a while. Dave
