Birthday gift for my friend

Last year I FDM printed, sanded, and painted this Last Ronin statue for my friend's birthday. The model is made by PREYcollectionSTUDIO on MyMiniFactory. The model is their 1/10 scale Last Ronin, however, I sized it to 250%, making it a 1/4 scale statue. It is 19.2 inches tall and it took about a month straight to fully sand and paint. To add realism, I used real rope, as well as medical tape for the bandages and cloth wrapping. It is composed of 20 different parts, all of which were printed on my Creality Ender 5 Plus running Insanity Automation firmware. This was actually the first time I used a rotary tool to do most of the sanding instead of just using sand paper. I used a $20 harbor freight corded rotary tool with different attachments to get rid of the layer lines, then used 60, 120, 220, 400, 600 wet, filler primer, 1000 wet to finish it smooth. The rotary tool not only cut down on time to sand, but also allowed me to sand fine details like I hadn't been able to before.
