Mirei-san; blocking in the base colours, outer layers.

Primed, cleaned and then base coated the figure. I found by doing this, it gives me a better idea of how the project is tracking, especially of colour schemes.

The Blue is a nice contrast against the pink, and both are good against the white bra, and the pale pink flesh tones.

I had base coated and prepainted the inner sides of the jacket, and once dry, used two part epoxy to glue the jacket halves together.

Still, there is a huge trench down the back, and a small gap down the front, (where the button is straining to keep the jacket closed) so these areas will require attention, with putty, and sanding sticks.

An interesting parts breakdown, the jacket halves.. the seam down the back of course looks natural, how are you going to fill the seam on the collar?

Parts breakdown is interesting - I don't recall any other figures that split a jacket like that.

In hindsight, I would have assembled in a different order. The skirt/ hips are a separate part, and can actually plug in from under the jacket.

Would have made for an easier fit of the jacket, and made the seam fixing lots easier.
