    Finished sanding all the nubs on the body (not sure if I want to follow through with accessories yet). Started some modifications, namely patching over that terrible gap behind the “thumb” of the cannon hand and a bit of scribing. This is the first kit I’ve tried to scribe and man, it’s hard! Thank god for putty.

    Also, it turns out I missed a seam on the elbow piece, so I cemented that. The spillover actually destroyed a few indents which are used to mount the shield. I tried to recover them using a chisel, but the result is bad: depth is inconsistent, lines are crooked, and one of the holes went all the way through! Disaster. The more I think about it, I should probably just putty these up and forget about the shield.

    This weekend I’m going to try to add some plaplate extensions to a few pieces. I want the crotch piece? to have a less curved look, and I want the chest a little wider to better hide the polycaps that connect to the shoulders.
