- the door at the top of the stairs (present in Mozu's build but missing in the kit, I scratch built it with leftovers)

Annotated build process
For each layer, I start with a test fit of each set of adjacent pieces to identify alignment references (a mix of shared edges and shared lines), then glue the pieces one by one, placing them lightly and shifting them into alignment using the pre-identified alignment points.

Coloured the gray details on the handrail with pencil, easy to apply and has a bit of a metallic sheen
Really glad I did the edges as well as the surface, adds depth and makes a noticeable difference
