Yeah I agree that waiting is the worst part, especially if you can’t wait to show your pics of what you have did at anywhere else. I’m not really hoping to win, more of learning experience for me lol 🙂
That was my mindset going into this. It was the 1st time building a kit under a deadline. And it was the 1st time using my new airbrush set up. So it was mostly a learning experience for me as well.
