Shar2 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Second build for this GB. First coat of flesh paint revealed some problems. The manufacturer had ground off the shoulder blades and collar bones when removing the casting blocks. So I've started rebuilding these areas. Also tried out some highlights around the face just to get an idea of where it's going to go.
MASH4077 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Watching with interest as I have the Dark Magician that I am trying to alter slightly to cover poorly fitting parts and others I do not want on the model. I will be watching the fitting of the front lacing, as this worries me slightly and I do so want this figure. Tony
AndyC Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 She looks a tad less "cuddly" than Alice, Dave! Will watch this with interest! Andy
mrvr6 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 fake t1ts ftl she looks like a right mean b1tch though lol

Kallisti Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Oh I never realised that something like this would qualify for this GB, in that case I should enter Sara in her chainmail bikini! I only started that one on Dec 29th so by the start of the GB I was much less that 25% complete!!!
JohnT Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Not really my thing but interesting work - is that cellulite I see in photo 3 or is she just waiting for a touch of wet and dry? Edited February 1, 2012 by JohnT
Shar2 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Not really my thing but interesting work - is that cellulite I see in photo 3 or is she just waiting for a touch of wet and dry? Ha ha!, yes she needs rubbing down a bit.
Iain Ogilvie Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Brave choice - I have nightmares about trying to paint what little exposed flesh there is on a 54mm figure - but thing like this... Iain
Shar2 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 The skin is the least of the problems with painting this one Iain.
chaddy Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 I've leaid off painting figures for some years now...but I think my interest has just reawakened! Who produces this figurine?
MASH4077 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Chaddy do a search for E2046 and be prepared for your horizons to be expanded
Shar2 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 I've leaid off painting figures for some years now...but I think my interest has just reawakened! Who produces this figurine? I got mine from Ebay, try sellers pull5rivers and resinplus.
Shar2 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Got the clothing and hair painted, but have just realised that she has a paint finger print on her bottom. So a bit more touching up required, although she is looking the part now. Parts aren't glued yet, whihc is why the right leg looks a bit out of position.
Shar2 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Well, everything went together a lot quicker and easier than I had expected.
Col. Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 That was quick Dave! Although the quality of paintwork and finish certainly looks top notch so one would never guess she went together so fast.
Mike Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 So a bit more touching up required Oh dear... oh dearie me.... And how does she cope when it's cold where she's going assassinating?
Kallisti Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I always thought assassins were stealthy killers who you didn't notice... She's not going to get away without being noticed, so maybe its a bit of misdirection I look forward to seeing this in the - ahem - "flesh" at Farnborough, I might even give you some competition if I can complete Sara in time!
AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 She's gonna catch a chill dressed like that...
AndyC Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Very nice Dave - you have a talent for these figures! Andy
Shar2 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 Thanks guys. I'm really pleased with her, particularly the lacing which went better than I had anticipated. AndyC, if you're going to Yeovilton, you'll be able to see her on my stand, (same place as last year, under Concordes port wing). Kallisiti, is it going to be the battle of the babes at Farnborough then ?
chaddy Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Chaddy do a search for E2046 and be prepared for your horizons to be expanded Expanded indeed !
AndyC Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 AndyC, if you're going to Yeovilton, you'll be able to see her on my stand, (same place as last year, under Concordes port wing). I'll be there! I'll say hi to her! Oh and you! Andy
