When 
Editor in Chief Bill 
asked if I would like to paint it, I said 'sure', just for a chance to expand my knowledge.
When I first received the model, I kinda was left wondering what to do with it. I never have painted space models before. It wasn't like any space stations I've seen before. It kind of reminded me of a shipyard.
Assembling It
I probably stared at the model for about a week before tackling the assembly of it. It's not that it was very hard to put together, just a little tricky. Getting the two rings shaped so that they would fit together just right was a challenge. At first, they would either be too tight or loose.
So I got out the handyman's helper: Clothespins! But not just any clothespins - ones that have been reversed so to create a stronger grip.
I then interlocked the two rings, and added a little superglue to get it to hold just long enough for me to apply some greenstuff. With the rings clothespinned, I could greenstuff one end and let it sit for a day. Then the next day, I did the other end.
