- Glue the pieces togetherShe did what everybody advised and glued all the pieces together, and it slowly started looking like an actual miniature.
- Practice zenithal primingShe practiced her zenithal, which she actually found pretty cool.
- Basecoat in greenShe painted the whole miniature in a kind of green.
- Layer and mix colors for shadows and highlightsShe started layering and mixing colors, making everything brighter and brighter, trying to create shadows and highlights, and felt like she was doing pretty well.
- Apply a washShe put a wash over it, and afterward it looked absolutely nothing like the shading she'd just spent so much time on.
- Add fluorescent paintShe moved on by adding the fluorescent paint to everywhere else, and then he was finally done.
