    Good work. That Chakra decal is literally a disaster waiting to happen if you aren't extra cautious while placing it on the model. Good decision to leave it where it stuck best and not mess with it further. That circle cutter, where is it available and can it cut circles less than 1cm also? Great end result. Lovely looking Flanker

They are fuckin RIVET COUNTERS.....they will never build a model, let alone shoot the process and upload it. Its easier to pin point errors, but tough to build a model and enjoy while doing it!
