Hmmmm, what are we gonna do about this? Running a scriber freehand over a raised area like this - in bare resin, no less - is hard to do, right? Um, not really.
First, draw a line that connects the areas that are still visible from her heel to her arch.
Remember Dymo label tape? Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth (when I was a kid) my teachers used this stuff to label everything. This is a present-day version, manufactured by Scotch. Like Dymo, it is a flexible plastic tape with a nice rigid edge to it. Cut a small length off of the roll . . . .
. . . . and wrap it around the back of her heel along your pencil mark. Using your scriber, carefully scribe a light line that connects the existing seams. Start lightly, then gradually increase the pressure until the areas are all the same depth. Go slowly, because you can remove too much resin very easily and the seam will be out of scale.
Remember the gaps between Babs' gloves and arms? Lets fill those using a modified mori-mori technique. Mori-Mori is a putty used by Japanese modelers, kinda like our Aves. The idea is to coat one side of the join with something that the putty won't stick to. I've used Vaseline and Chapstick at different times, but its always messy and I have to clean up the greasy stuff before I can sand and paint. I heard Tom Grossman mention using Parafilm once during a seminar, so I thought I'd give it a try. Limber up a piece of Parafilm and stretch it tightly over the surface of her glove where it makes contact with her forearm. (For more detailed information on how to use Parafilm for masking, see the Making of Future Girl in this gallery.)
Mix equal parts of Aves part "A" and part "B" and knead well. Roll out a small string . . .
. . . and apply it around the perimeter of her forearm.
Do the same for her left arm. Note the area where I puttied up some tool marks and pinholes in the previous step.
Carefully line up her gloves and gently - but firmly - press her gloves into position. The Aves will ooze out with consistent pressure, but don't overdo it there, Sampson!
