Quick update. Going slow and hope I am doing it correct?

Nothing that jumps out as so wrong you should have known better

I guess paint will cover the glue smudges?

Unless it’s actual blobs of tube cement, then yes, it will.

As little as possible But yeah, I’ve got a scar on my left thumb, just behind and to the left of the nail, where I managed to stab through the finger with a hobby knife once upon a time — there was a wound maybe a centimetre long at the top of the thumb and one a few millimetres long on the underside … I’ve cut my fingers more times than I can remember (I don’t even feel it anymore — I tend to notice spots of blood on my tools, model, etc. and realise I must have cut myself), I’ve sawed into them (a little), drilled into them, and once even managed to get a staple in my thumb as a result of building models. That last one was a weird sight: both the sharp ends in my flesh and the flat bit sitting a millimetre or so above it, and it didn’t even hurt (though I did feel it).

Hi Andrew
All looking fine to me
Modelling should be classed as a dangerous sport! Knocked a scalpel off the bench onto my leg the other day. And it had to land blade first!!
