Make sure you have a solid base coat, and dry it fully before putting any details in,
then you can start to fill those wounds in keep a bit of your base coat to one side for mixing lighter shades etc.
For little airbubbles nicks etc, a good trick is to take some toilet roll (thats what we call it anyhow) tear off little pieces and paint a bit on the airbubble then lay the tissue on and paint over it works well.
Its looking good so far, eyes are not to bad, don\'t use solid white mix a tiny bit of flesh or a dab of black to make an off white color, paint it on then paint in your iris with black let dry then get your eye color put a dab on a pallete with some white, paint on a solid color lets say blue,leaving a bit of the black showing at the very edge,then using a lighter blue, start painting small lines radiating towards the centre,mix a lighter shade then go over these lines again so a little bit of that color shows through,then paint in your pupil and do an off white highlight, and gloss them and your done.
Or you can just cut out the eyes and buy some acrylic ones for about $5!, they have them on the bay, 25mm will do the trick.
