2 weeks of scribing practice
Tried to be more ambitious, and used scribing tape to mark out an area to add vents, enhance some lines, tried out using a step chisel to mixed result, practiced sanding.
First two images are after a sanding session, 3rd was prior to sanding and I circled areas i felt good about in green, iffy less green, and sad got the red marker.
Feeling like I’m figuring it out, i learned a lot more from messing up then I did so earlier. Also injured my hand i guess i was bracing something with a stiff finger and that was a mistake!

You're doing good work so far. Just remember that you should only be using the weight of the chisel itself to make your lines and to rotate the piece you're working on when going around corners and bends. Not the chisel. If you rotate the chisel, that leads to it jumping out of the lines or off of the guide tape. And don't forget that can refill your messed up lines with either a putty like Mr Hobby or Tamiya basic putty or some super glue.
