Making a visor is a great way to get into scratch building. Ditto bumpers. Now I am not the master at this stuff as many of these guys are, but if you will PM me with what you are trying to create, I will be glad to help.

My first attempt (see below) on a "slam together" kit was a simple one for a Revell 1/25 W900 quite some time ago and once I got that down, it has opened lots of other doors. It just takes a little time, practice, and thinking outside the box...not necessarily a fortune in tools, lots of $, or materials. And it surely creates a lot of pride in ownership as you made it.

Just my opinion though.....
