Dragon Crown Amazon - in progress

Another very interesting kit on my table.
This girl looks deceptively simple, but anything but that.  With a limited amount of parts, she have a lot of details, including a very intricate tattoo (decals were not included). 
This is another character that I am actually familiar with and admire the art this kit is based on.  Hopefully I can translate the art feel into the model.




 I am very impressed with how her arms separated from her body.  The muscle shaped created the breakdown. 


 After couple of long hours of hand painting, her tattoos are done :-)
I have to say that i am very happy with results.


I used a small mesh to paint her bra and underwear for scale-like effect.  Also used some nice Hammered Metal spray can from Menards.  It created some nice effects on her axe and her boots.


 Some extra few touch ups and she is done.

Cowboy Bebop Faye with Ein - workbench

I have a big project to paint all the characters from Cowboy Bebop anime.
For a change, I actually watched this :-)

I am starting with Faye.  All of the kits are older production and have very bad surface.  Even after soaking in degreaser for couple of days, the skin looks oily and weird.  Lots of uneven surfaces that need lots of attention.





It will be some time before I start painting this girl  >__<






Maria - the seven wonder of my table

I received a request to paint a privately designed and 3D printed figure, and not just once but seven times :D


 lots and lots of parts :D


 After some cleaning and 2 big cans of white primer, its painting time :D


 Time for masking , seven times over   >_<

I am finally done with this lady.  She looks so much better in person then on the pictures.  I really need to figure out my photo skills  >_<

Sumomo from Chobits

This was a Christmas present for a friend, so a little color change was needed :D
I had lots of fun painting this little beauty.




Here is small work-in-progress pics





 This tiny baby was pick pocketed with lots and lots of tiny holes  Took me some time to fill this all out.

 And here is how I got the idea for Snowflaked Sumomo :D



Enjoy

Some bases

I managed to steal couple of minutes a day for the last week to make some bases.  They don't take that much time, just lots of drying time between the layers :D
