YouTube's a great resource for learning new techniques and expanding your skills. I'm going to periodically share videos I've found to be interesting and useful.
This one features a build of Academy's F-35A from the channel PLASMO - plastic models. Watch the whole thing, but I would like to especially point out the epoxy putty seat belts starting at about 1:42. This is not the first time I've ever encountered this technique -- it's often used by pattern makers for resin seat masters, I believe -- but it's an interesting alternative to photo etch belts, which can be expensive and not always convincing.
