Fun garage kit to paint

Painted by me

Pose sketch done by my GF (Nyiccco) and sculpted by Pikkyprints for her Patreon

Sent to the back of her collar isn’t normally visible, I removed her hair just so you could see it. She’s just barely over 2 inches, so I’m quite pleased over how her details turned out ❤️

I'm extremely happy to have finally painted my all time favorite kit of Saturn (for the second time) and this time I get to keep her, also because I couldn't leave Sailor Pluto all alone on that base! xD

Sailor Saturn / Hotaru is by far my favorite Sailor Senshi!

There's just something about the original 90s version of her that the reboot just couldn't top, from her very expressive eyes, the style of her fuku, her colors (purple is my fav color ) and the fact that she's just so OP right below Sailor Moon with the capability to destroy an entire planet, she's just that amazing and so is her lore and story

I hope you had a chance to see the entire video, if not check it out here!

I hope you enjoy her as much I loved painting her :D

PS. Pluto's video is also right here!

Definitely the most fiddly kit I’ve ever done, those decals sucked the soul straight from my body. She’s hand painted so is a bit rough in some areas as I’m still a noob, gave it my best though. Definitely some learning here though, like making sure everything sits right before painting, being more careful with the glue trail and cutting out the decals more delicately. The skin is splotchy in some places where I haven’t sanded and primed properly too. Overall tho I think she looks quite good, now I just need to never touch her again as she’ll probably fall to pieces.
Haven’t varnished her yet either as I don’t trust myself not to mess that up, so I took the photos first. You all have such great ways of photographing your models once their done, I need to learn from your ways

The model is from Kuru Figure had a blast building it, quite happy with the results
