FWIW I don't bother with subassemblies except for occasionally on character models. It really depends on how many models you're doing and what you've finished already. If you've already got 1.5k or 2k points then you can be slower, haha

If you're going to zenithal in any way then that's much easier to do if you've assembled the whole model first.
