It’s a little rough of a recess and a little wide. For your first time it is a good recess. ---

Great Job! For the paint, I’d like to see 1 side red 1 side green Black around the rims of the caps Yellow on the inside of the caps. It’ll be kinda hard to do, but you can put tape on the part of the caps that you don’t want to be painted that color. ~Born2YoYo~ ---
