Mirei-san; well, that (mostly) worked!

well, filling and shaping the putty really gave good results. 1st Pic shows that the contours are still there on the jacket, but most of the trench is gone. Still some spots that require a touch of filler, but way better then the trench that was there before.

One thing I am a bit annoyed about is the tiny amount of over spray, one on the hinge point of the left jaw, the other just behind the right ear. Way better then having to rework the face at this late stage.

Oh, the airbrush.....it seems I spend more time masking the subject up and prepping (then cleaning) the airbrush, then I do actually painting with the airbrush.

still, for covering large areas smoothly, quickly, still quicker then hand brushing.
