Start with one clear focal point and test the scale using a quick mockup, paper guide, or inexpensive sample.

Work in stages: structure first, then surface preparation, color, detail, and final assembly. Record settings that work.

Check the project at normal viewing distance before calling it finished. Clear form and a stable display matter more than extra clutter.

For create a cut list for a game project, prioritize the choices that improve use, durability, and the main visual read. Save optional upgrades for a later version.
