polycap balls

Do you find the double polycap ball joints to be loose or fidgety? I really disliked that technique when Bandai used it on the Gundam Seed Destiny cheapie 1/144 kits.
On the other hand, the polycap ball joints with the hole in the center for a peg were also used by Bandai, on the earlier Gundam Seed 1/144 cheap kits, and those worked great.

I found them to be nice and firm upon completing the model. Nothing on this model was fidgety at all which I liked

koto always does that to their model kits

but at times they can be nerve racking like the valsione kit from srw og, the main beef i had with the kit is that all that needs to be painted are just the fingernails the problem is that it's too small for guys with big hands like me it's frustrating though i commend that it looks good even without painting

You could try using masking

You could try using masking tape to isolate tiny areas you need to paint. It'll be a little bit easier to paint that way. Some hobby shops sell rolls of masking tape of various widths for this purpose.

Looks pretty good. Wish I could have seen a completed picture prior to your additional marker work though. I get the feeling that makes it pop a lot more.
