The second stage begins by painting (primer and black and silver in spray cans) on the inner side parts that wil remaining partly viewable (and difficiult to paint later).

The assembly still requires as much puttying and sanding of the horrible seams...

I noticed that the inside of the torso would also remain clearly viewable from the armpits. I did not anticipate at all while dry testing the kit, and it is a real winds palace with these 2 large opened "windows". And as now it is bondes, I can not hide the opening from the inside.

The interior is brush painted in black as best as I could from his armpits. In the end, I will insert a piece of a black cloth to conceal the void.

The foundry rough look is applied to these new pieces (mixture of putty and acetone).

It's ready for the second painting stage.
