I think this is looking really good so far. I especially like the trans purple underneath the silver.
However, I must agree with Payinku- this MOC may look a bit better with a different mask. That’s not to say the current mask looks bad; I just think another one would look better.
Can’t wait to see this completed, it looks like it’s shaping up to be a great MOC.
I’m not sure why you think they don’t fit when the main piece in the torso, the Mahri pad, fits very well with the smooth texture. You can have smooth textures in a build without it all needing to be perfectly smooth.
Anyway, great WIP. Only suggestion would be to try a few different masks, this one is good but I think maybe another would do better.
