Difficulty with connections on each skins when build as "master-style"?
You know, it aint difficult to make it this style. When you see the FT build movies, they make each the rounded skinparts single, not direct one the internal. Thats a good reason for. When you shape the foamboard to glue the rounded shape together, when you push enough down at connection, the outer paper will meet each other fully, and will be kept together on the outside as what you see on a ready build.
If you try glue a round shaped skin direct on an internal construction , you can NEVER push it enough together to get the outside paper to meet fully, so paperpart get glued tacky first, than the foam shapes. the foampart would stick first, then paper... and that will everytime give a "crack" where outer papers dont meet each other.
Make a single round shaped part first, when glue dryed, then put it on the internal, or against other rounded skins .
(hope it was undestandable, i should made a video to show it... and will later.)
