Yes, yes, a VERY fine build. But you should exchange the stand; it is much too big.

But ... Wait a minute, that's no stand - it's the tweezers!!! :D:D:D:p:p:p:D:D:D

GREAT JOB, LIN! :)

I'm using two designs for the Cardassian Hidekis; Paragon's and Arbiter Bri's. I cut all the parts even although there was a good chance of losing them with a heavy breath:-

As always, magnifying them makes them look a bit of a pig's ear, but they pass muster with the naked eye.

That is why the "shallow breathing technique" is ALWAYS a good thing to practice while building models (or working with any parts) this small.;)

I am sorry to say this, but it looks like you have a serious bug problem there! ;)
In all seriousness, they look good!!!

Now that I have an infestation of bugs (Jemmie & Cardie) ;) I'm starting on D-Whale's vor'cha design in three colour schemes. I first cut the wing parts and pieces for two upper modules with all the tabs removed:-

With the wing connected I cut the parts for another two upper modules:-
