Here we have a Tikka T3X with a fresh Boyds At-One stock

First impressions:

Pros. It's sexy, fits like a glove, lots of adjustability, QD sling mount, bipod and sling mount forward.

Cons. It's heavier, definitely feels blocky around my hand, plastic hand guard pieces suck to hold, ordered the softer overmold ones at the time of purchase to fix that.

I'm excited to take it out when I get some free time next. Adjusted my optic too while I was at it so I'll re zero it too. I'll come back and edit this post if I notice any glaring issues.

1/72 F4U-1A by Tamiya

I embarked on this journey a little over 5 weeks ago I think, working away as I had time. YouTube definitely saved me from many many mistakes with decals, weathering, general assembly, etc.

Colours are definitely off (had to mix and I'm colour blind), I might have overdone it with the chipping, the engine exhaust doesn't look how I'd like, the cockpit has finger prints inside, but all things considered, I'm proud of my first model. I'll be starting another one very soon!

Constructive criticism is most definitely welcome! I'm a total amateur with just about everything and it shows!
