Thanks Tim. What time gap between coats? (Discovering it strips off with lacquer thinner very easily).
Ha ha, no, normal sized hands here. She's nominally 75mm scale, but because she's an elf she's actually 50mm from the soles of her feet to her eyeballs.Wow Paul!!! She is too cool!!! Fantastic painting skills and I bet that cape took quite a long time to paint too. She must be small, or you have gigantic hands Sir...
Edge highlights do really make the elements stand out. Must admit I thought the yellow was cloth, but I wouldn’t know how to make it look differently myself apart from a slight sheen….Thanks everyone.

The cape did take some time - I'm discovering that freehand is labour-intensive, with a great deal of continuous correcting. But I'm well-happy with the end result - looks belivably like a soft woollen garment.
It's surprising how little touches can make a big difference. Despite highlighting the ridges and shading the deepest folds, the cape didn't look right until I placed a pale reflection right at the bottom of the deepest folds - that was transformational.

Her jumpsuit is supposed to be yellow leather - while it looks good, I'm not sure I've completely sold the idea it's made of leather.
