It&#8217;s also helpful for illustrating the issue as I share my progress. To correct the issue I added more epoxy putty to the surface of the part. Later on I&#8217;ll carve down the inside of the part to re-establish the correct thickness. While I was correcting this section of the part, I also added epoxy putty around the spike fringes to give them more uniform depth relative to the surrounding surface of the pauldron, to fill irregularities, and deal with other minor issues. When adding epoxy putty to the surface like this there is a risk that the new putty won&#8217;t really bond to the earlier layers. If that becomes a problem later on I may need to re-bond layers with super glue or something&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"model-data\/1_100_Zaku_Kai\/zakufz_20220226_symmetry_recheck_1.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"model-data\/1_100_Zaku_Kai\/zakufz_20220226_symmetry_recheck_1_thumb.jpeg\" title=\"With the new epoxy putty added, I did a photo-check to see if the alignment issue was fixed.
