Hello All
Are there any stronger, perhaps metal, stands available for the Kotobukiya SOUSAISHOJOTEIEN series? Mine developed a crack and no longer holds up Maria.
Cheers
This was a custom paint test focused on skin shading and translucent stockings.
The stockings were painted with layered transparent colors to create a translucent effect over skin, rather than just looking like solid purple plastic.
Still experimenting with the balance between softness, contrast, and gloss.
Unicorn for size comparison, ignore him anyways, I have built 2 nuke matrix kits mad wolf and Laura Bell and a set of twins with a 2 headed bird and a bunch of 30 minutes sisters any warnings about this kit.
Finished* up the Mad Wolf. And this arrived for the backlog. I think I’m gonna go a little simpler before tackling this one. I think Kuro Mao and Amaterasu Regalia are next. But Koto’s gold plastic probably needs a touch up.
*No slides yet.
I've always hand brushed my painted kits. Saw someone else post a kit they used paint markers and it looked nice. Figured I'd give it a try, definitely a different feel. Everything from the neck down and not black is painted. Have a few spots to clean up and still have all the weapons and wings to do (Far-Farina (Conductor Form)). Overall I do like the markers, can't get the fine details in there with them though. Also made her stand platform match her colors with them and this is something I really want to do with all my 30ms kits now.
Another simple detailing work. I think it looks better. The exposure on my phone makes it hard to photograph =/
I have built them like these so far and haven't touched their weapons yet. I am missing a 5th to make quintuplets.
Basically the title. Was distracted while sanding and after testing memory holed the insert until it was far too late. Idk how to separate them so i can finish the leg. Front seam is really closed together (why pictures are taken with flash so it shows up) and while the leg joint moves well its not loose enough that separation by hand has resulted in anything. Tried using an xacto knife to dig into the back and get leverage but no dice there and i think i would end up cutting into the pegs in the process if i start digging into it. So any advice on what else to try before that?
