With Sena recently completed, I decided against starting up another figure project to focus on this one and just get the damn thing done.  Prior to the Sena videos, I actually started using my cameras to capture the Grimoire build.  I was still working out the set up that I think I&#8217;ve nailed down towards the end of the Sena series.  <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the kit looks like currently.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1'

and created two new video files.  The first video shows the unboxing and the start up work on the kit that quickly runs through snapping, sanding, and seams in the first half of the video.  Most of the items are glossed over as I&#8217;ve done other focused tutorials on the subjects.  The second half of the video shows some of the mods and goes into a little bit of detail on how things were done.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rnBaA0EyvJs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I had gotten the upper thigh pieces extended by cutting and adding styrene to the middle.  Here, I puttied, sanded, and primed to check the surface for defects.  I still need another sand, putty, and prime session to finish up the surface prep for the thigh pieces, but I&#8217;m working on final clean up for the kit in general so I&#8217;ll just wait and do it all at the same time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"images\/20150221_154341_jpg.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[3525]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"thumbnails\/20150221_154341_jpg.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a>  <a href=\"images\/20150221_181428_jpg.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[3525]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"thumbnails\/20150221_181428_jpg.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I finalized my modifications removing some decisions I had made earlier and refining a few areas here and there.
