There was a tiny step from the parting line on the sides of the waist.
I filled the difference with CA+talc and sanded.
Instead of scribing lines, I sharpen the steps between the details just a little bit, so I could draw out those lines after applying the main color in controlled thin coats.


I used a pair of tweezers to hold the sandpaper in such a way, to smooth out these hard to reach areas.
(Turned out I prefer using tweezers, for better control)

Color scheme.
The bigger squares are the colors that I eye ball -ed. While the smaller squares show the colors from PS dropper.
The dropped ones are either brighter or darker than the ones I eye ball -ed.
Take the red on the round thingy on the shoulder, for instance, because of the 3 shades, it appeared brighter to the eyes. I guess I will go for the one that feels right.
The eyes have no red but a dull orange and yellow. Sword guards are actually deep purple.


See the shadow on the lower edge suggested the surface is curved inward at the very edge.
The concern is that if the finish is semi-gloss or gloss, the light reflected is going to curve accordingly, and it won't be pretty. Escpecially this surface would be facing at 45 degree toward the ceiling
These parts are the ankle guards


Fixed, by filling CA+baby powder and carefully sanded.


Everything on the legs is ready for priming.

This part here is the back of the leg. There is an obvious deformed line.


I chiseled it out according to the red line, keeping one of the sides straight.



I stuffed the red area with epoxy, smoothed it out and then slightly cut a straight line by tracing a blade on the straight side of the line.
