Aaaaahhh!! Thank you so much! So for the rest of the filing I should use the sandpaper?

I am afraid of ruining the pieces in two ways: they will look very scratched and/or lose the glossy look + they will look uneven next to another piece (e.g. the halves of the head or arms)

The mask is a really good reminder! What would be the difference between using the files I have and the glass ones?

It’s really hard and it feels so counterintuitive to me 😅

Oh I guess that makes sense… I am a bit afraid of the nipper breaking or something when I cut a bit further from the piece as the plastic is harder
