WIP #2.5?
As per request, I’m posting a more detailed picture of the upper body. I did end up building the other hand, but that’s it. I’m actually kinda glad that I was told to do this, as I picked up a lot of paint inconsistencies.

  Thank you. That looks great. Are you hand painting it?

    Yup, marker on plastic actually. I don’t have a good brush though…

      That’s too bad. It still looks great, man. Do you have a way to fix paint inconsistencies?

      I do long strokes with the marker and then when done blow on the newly laid paint. It helps with the swirls and the streaks which the sides of the pen make. Furthermore, if I add another layer, I do the whole panel. Its kinda wasteful, but it gives a much better effect than having splotches all over the model.

      Oh, and I’m always in a very bright area, and have a bottle of rubbing alcohol on the side. There’s a lot of trial and error.
