(reposting here since this is where I should've put it in the first place) Summary - AP kit, first time builder, hoping to get this finished for May/June, also hoping not to cut off any of my fingers. Micro sized trooper so I'll be trimming lots. Plan is to only use E6000 so I have time to fix any mistakes. Trimmed forearms last night. Definitely not sure what lines are meant to be cut on, so I'm taking it slow until I can tape and size to my bod. - learned that you don't need to press and cut super hard/deep with that shop knife. Will make all future cuts so much easier and safer. Just picked up a pair of plastic cutting scissors. About to get out the Dremel and practice gentle sanding and shaping on some scrap pieces.

(I hope I’ve started this in the right section) After watching videos and reading for the last month, I took the plunge and started tonight! I have an AP kit and I think there will definitely be a learning curve as I get going on this project. **Note: first thing tomorrow, I’m gonna get some impervious-to-cutting gloves otherwise I don’t see myself finishing this with all my fingers attached.** (I’m a shorty, so I know that there will be a lot of additional trimming.) I trimmed the forearms tonight, but I’m uncertain as to what to trim along the sides. If you look at the pic, there’s a line in the ABS - is this a trim line? Is Imgur the best for sharing pics? I figure it’ll be easy to update my album there. Can’t wait to immerse myself in this amazing community and absorb all your collective knowledge. https://imgur.com/a/j4zjx
