This video shows slowly shaping the Tibetan tsa-tsa figure after it was left to dry for about 4 days in a muro. There is still a lot of work both to fill out the fill to the needed thickness and outer shape. I am using #800 sandpaper and then coming back in with an Olfa blade.  I have some other, sturdier blades which I will use later on.
