Don't let the turreting FAQ fool you. I'm not actually that much of a modeller.

I've only totally completed one mod and for every mod I do think is worth continuing with I've got another 10 I gave up on halfway cause they were to poor to be worth continuing with.
I wrote the turretting FAQ cause I had an awful time trying to get turrets to work myself and I didn't want anyone to have to go through it themselves.
When it comes to other parts of modding it would be a case of the partially sighted leading the blind. At the moment there are large sections of modding I've never tried (I've never made a fighter or bomber for instance so I can only point to the advice of those who have).
Basically I give advice when no one else has cause it's better than nothing (plus I've noticed that some people who would ignore a request for help will leap in to say someone else is wrong

)
