You should.
Get that critical input on how to improve
Especially you hopefully will find someone to show models with wiring and share the materials he/she uses to pick up on the only thing needing any work on your builds !!!
Also, from your work here, MANY coudl benefit from seeign yoru results !!!!

I know, I'd really like to start wiring engines, kind of make my modelling skills more rounded, but not exactly complete!
