I didn't post any in-progress pics for this girl.  Every time I remember about taking photos, its already too late,  sorry.
But at least I can share with your the final results, so here is Yoko

Workbench - Roberta

Finished up Roberta's suitcase. This time I hand painted the belt straps :D I didn't wanted to repaint this the third time.

Roberta is all done, I just need to finish up taking photos of her.

Stay tuned :D

Kanu is done

I am finally done with this kit. I had few bumps doing this kit, but mostly I had fun making her. Soon she will be on the way to her new home and I get to finish up my other Ikkitoisen kit.
There is more pictures on my photobucket site http://s254.photobucket.com/albums/hh107/zasranka1/Kanu/

Kanu WIP

Today I finally started to paint Kanu.

Usually I paint skin color first, but this girl have way too much white and I prefer to paint white first. So I painted her shirts and socks white with blue tint to it and applied shadows with pastel. Pastels gives you a better control on how much you cover and its very helpful with a small kits.

Also I painted the hair. I applied the purple color as a base. Added black shadows and light purple highlights. After that I sprayed all of the hair surface with transparent blue to give the hair a nice glow.

While I was waiting for the hair parts to dry, I painted Kanu's weapon. Now I just have to paint the dragons head gold.

Few more days and Kanu will be done.

Its been around a week since I started to work on Kanu. I am actually very impressed with my speed. The kit is almost ready to be painted.
I spend lots of time sanding and priming parts. Most of the kit is in the good shape, but the hair and her legs were giving me the most problem.

At this moment, I have both of her bodies ready, her shoes, her weapon, and her skirts. I will probably need another sanding and priming on the legs.

I am very excited to start painting her. Painting is the best part of this hobby

Today is Easter, so after family dinner I got a chance to work on this commission.

This is an original kit, so there is not too much problems with it. The part fit is pretty much perfect. I had to adjust the lower parts of the bodies so they all fit with the skirts. Plus I had to putty the leg to the torso. Pinned all the parts and did some sanding.

The hair piece is going to be a problem. The strands are so delicate it will take lots of carefull sanding and handling. Plus there was small shift in the mold, so there is a bigger seam line then on the other pieces.

Just got this kit in the mail. It is a commission project, so I have to put my kits on hold for a little bit. I really like this kit, so its not a problem.

This is Kanu from Ikkitoisen, she have two different bodies and two skirts. I inspected the parts and found only few small problems. There is some seam lines on the legs and hair pieces have some extra resin, but I don't think it will take me long to fix it.

For now she is taking a bath in my degrease. I will have to finish one other commission project, its due on Saturday, so Kanu have to wait a little bit.
