Do u build THEN clean up ur model?

The assembling of these little guys is dread for me. I'm not going into how I've melted arms & faces with plastic glue, I just can't figure that glue out

Anyways, after to assemble do you scrape off the mould lines, etc. OR do you do that before assembling? I've been doing it before and I feel like it's taking FOREVER. Maybe doing it after is faster?

Any insights into how to make this entire building process easier would be appreciated as it's a real stumbling block for me getting into the hobby 😥

P.S. Totally of subject but what does karma do in Reddit and what are the badges about you get for achievements i.e. r they just pats on the back or are they actually useful somehow?

Still, any ffedback is welcomed as I can use that moving forward on this guy's brothers.

Drill barrel for the flamer torrent?

So I have the box of 10 and one I want to make is the flamer. The barrel is super tiny. Thoughts?

Anyone else have trouble seeing the rims of the lenses to paint?

I got it done but took way too many attempts. I just can't see them when the paint goes down, especially the bottom of the rims. I do thin my paint and it's old people glasses 😃. Any tips?
