Josh, time for some shameless self promotion, there's a link in my sig.....get one of the smaller kits and give it a try. They're designed to assemble much like a plastic kit.
Steve, I hand cut individual boards from 1/32 balsa sheet to build the "Jack Work Coal Mine" when the article ran in Oct.,Nov.,Dec.'59 MR, and swore I'd never do that again.......fast forward eleven years, and I built(1970-1976) a plank on frame boat model where each board had to be tapered to fit, and fastened with individual bamboo dowels. Today, I don't have any problem with board by board construction. Your coal house is looking good!
BTW, it's good to see you here! Your work over on "the Z place" was excellent!

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
