A good start is half the battle. That's a nice kit on its own: those extras will really make it rock.

Will be watching!

The sprue of the Eduard PE kit has perforations (stencils/molds) for bolts of different sizes. Does anybody know how to use them and what material to use to make them?

You melt sprue and press it against the templates. After the sprue cools, use a hobby knife to cut off your newly formed bolt head.

Looking good. May I suggest adding a dark shaded piece of clear acetate over the computer screen? Unless you look directly at one, the image will appear darker.

Had some minor problems with the masking. Should be able to correct them easily.
