This is certainly not my best paint job. I'm happy with the figure overall, but I had a lot of trouble with the dark wash on the metallic parts either completely wiping off the figure or not coming off in places I needed it to which led to the lines not being as clean as I'd have liked on her chest. That combined with using metallic silver to paint over spots on the figure where I tried to blend sculpting down to the actual plastic was just asking for disappointment. The seams between the sculpting and plastic are not as good as I'd have liked, but the fact that I used metallic paint I think is the biggest reason they are noticeable since it shows EVERY imperfection.

For the recipe I just used silver sable with the Lilandra head. Removed paint from the body and disassembled the head to paint it. The shoulder armor was made from a piece of an Absorbing Man BaF belt. The Knee armor was made from halving and sanding the sphere from Nico Minoru's staff. The staff was a combination of Nico Minoru's Staff combined with part of Walgreens Namor's Trident and I used the fins from Death's Head 2 calves. I really expected making her staff from all of those small parts would be a nightmare but it actually wasn't that difficult. I trimmed off the portion of the Thor cape that plugged into his thigh and I drilled a hole in her chest so the cape could be inserted. I sculpted the chest, stomach, bicep, and thigh details. After that it was Tamiya Metallic Silver over the armored portion and Model Masters Ford Blue and flat white (3:1 ratio) over the clothed parts followed by a darker wash. Then I covered the armored parts with a Tamiya clear gloss and the cloth/cape with Tamiya clear flat. The staff was Tamiya metallic silver with a dark wash then Tamiya clear yellow.

All suggestions and questions are welcome. Thanks for looking!
