You see? You get these "not a mini" ratings, too! Good on you, though, for trying out something new and I'm delighted I was a help. CMON is all about inspiration and education. My main recommendation on the paintjob is to avoid hand-painted details unless you want the details to look hand-painted. Try to use decals, stencils or stickers for a crisper, smoother finish. You can then use a few coats of varnish to secure these in place.
