This page will stay simple for now only because I am sick and then also sleepy. Will come back to reduce the boring of it all...
The model was bought from a re-seller on eBay if you are worried about where the money went

Now that I have promised myself to never stop moving and have no intention to work on my homework today, I have decided to begin assembling my Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner 1/144 scale model that I got back in January as a New Years treat.
I will be using "Assembly / Zvezda 1/144 scale Boeing 787-9 Norwegian Air Shuttle (Freddie Mercury Tail)/ Zocker J" by Zocker J on YouTube as a general guidance. The links lead to the video & his channel.
Now, the box is quite large in width. Here it is photographed laying on my floor:

I unfortunately do not have a photo of the contents untouched as I wasn't originally planning on making a page. I changed my mind, though, as you can see. :-)
At this stage, I have used:

- Tamiya Extra Thin Cement Fine Tip Glue
- Revell "Contacta Professional" Glue w/Needle
- KEWAYO Craft Knife
- MOMENT 4pc Tweezers
- Muji Washi Tape
All purchased on Amazon

I do not have photos of the process either (see explanation above), but I have managed to:
Stick the fuselage together;


And stick the wings together.

This, and then I have also cut my finger while trying to get a large piece of plastic to snap off. This morning I have burnt my pancakes as well... So many things are telling me to sit down and stop it's ridiculous.

Current plan: Wait for the fuselage and wings to dry shut, then assemble them together. Putty & sanding afterwards.
Current feelings: Sneezing much more than I should. I like the plane's snout. My finger barely hurt at all when I got cut but as soon as I've noticed it it's gone to whining. Says a lot...
