erikbroSorry I couldn't make it in time lol but hey never feel discouraged on your first build! I even broke a piece on my first build (Super lucky to find an extra in the kit!) feel free to ask any questions on any issues that you DO have going forward though, I dont have much time but I will be trying to update this as I can as well :P

DarkshadeThanks! I've been taking a few photos along the way of the build process and will post once complete. I didn't spend the time to sand down the nubs this time and just used my hobby knife to get rid of them, but definitely wound up with a few stress marks that are more noticeable than I would like. I'll be more careful on the next one and will use this as a learning project. Still looking great and has been really enjoyable to build.

erikbroGlad to hear it and looking forward to seeing it! An advantage of your first build is that you will get through it a lot quicker then later on when your more experienced and applying more advanced techniques, the day long build turns into weeks (painting) turns into months (weathering) its all part of the journey so enjoy all of it!
