Some things to note that we can all use:

-Using "low tack" masking tape to protect delicate parts during assembly.

-Using acrylic paint as p/e-to-plastic glue. Thicker acrylics shrink during drying and also provide a fairly strong join. This is a very handy tip I've used in the past with very small photo etch.

-Using "stretched sprue" as a seam filler. It ain't just for wires, anymore. OK, it isn't that novel, but did you think of it first?
Great video. I have to say I don't attempt anything less than 1/350 on subs, I have caveman hands.
