Second Model
Mistakes, I've made a few...

So I chose this one as my second model because A) I wanted to test out using spray pain for the body, and B) it has a ton of decals for me to practice with. Well I can honestly say that I am proud of my progress with decals (still not perfect, but getting much better), but I am not a fan of the spray pain. It runs too much, leaving heavy amounts of paint at the bottom, while grooves and corners are left looking splotchy. I think I will stick to paint brushes for now. I'm sure airbrushing would work even better, but I've not got the money nor, I think, the patience to deal with that whole thing. Also, I purchased an actual toolkit, with sprue cutters, files, tweezers, etc, which has been greatly helpful.
