I did have some trouble with her though. After she was almost done and I'd glued the shield on, she suddenly came alive in my hand, and I dropped her. I picked her up to inspect the damage:
Sleeve: Chipped
Gold NMM on sword: Chipped
Steel NMM on sword: Chipped
Gem on sword: Chipped
Bracelet: Chipped
Area around shield: Ruined

Grrrrrr..... why does this always happen to me?
Anyway, the only solution was to go into my insane rage (think something like the Hulk). I usually just shout and scream for a while. After that I go into my insane mini-painting rage (think, the Hulk with a paint brush). This means that I have to repair everything really quickly and it has to turn out better than it was before. After that I actually felt pretty good about her :)
