Basic plan:
1.Decide on idea
PANDA BEARGUY!
2.Allocate color patterns
Literally stole from the internet and modified to what I'd like to see
3.Try something new to challenge myself
Tried to remove the "seem lines" or where some of where the parts would connect, thought about doing his head but decided against it
4.Paint
Spray canned to hell!
5.Finish!

Troubles encountered:
-Cold weather
Could have finished it even sooner but had to wait for the weather to ease up
-Needed primer
Because the model was mostly yellow I had to use primer, a base coat to hide it out
-Parts cracking
The parts I didn't coat ended up cracking...so the paint I've trusted all this time breaks model kits despite being specifically designed FOR model kits, wut
-Eye mask
So I used stickers to act as an eye mask...over fresh paint, luckily the repaint was easy enough
-Lost parts
I lost some joint parts while doing my room cleanout so I ended up cannibalizing parts from another kit under construction
-Incomplete
He was meant to have a mini pandabear to go alongside him but because some joint parts went missing I stole them and gave them to this bigger bear, if I pulled apart the pink ribbon I can salvage him though, just means no instant plug and change, also the mini bear needs a finishing coat
-time
Had to rush to get him up and running *just* for today but you helped me complete 2 challenges, namely a new (for me) modeling technique experience and actually punching for a deadline!

Best part is I can treat this like a prototype and try again, anyways HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILY!!!
