And some closeups of the repairs. Sculpting these fine edges is incredibly hard. Each one is a multi-session job, first you have to just get the putty in the space you want (and getting it to stick to such a tiny surface is really hard) then you can sand it to make a framework and then apply more layers of putty. The sword is currently on 5 different layers of putty just on the outer edge, the inner edge is on 3. The organic details of this sculpt are so fantastic but all the inorganic armour such as the trim and the blade are just not good.

The worst part so far was fixing the details on the left pauldron which were all wobbly looking (like you can see in the front one), that probably took 3-4 hours alone, with the trim repair and straightening taking about the same time but over multiple sessions of buildup and sanding/filing. Its coming along smoothly though, probably 2/3rds done. Main things left are front pauldron details and finishing the blade.
