Sara and the chain-mail bikini!

[Guest]

This is going to sound more perverted than intended

Could you not give her a sweaty look by making her skin glisten with some laquer droplets (or similar) it would hide the flat appearence of the skin and add a touch more 3D texture?

It looks quite good in my imagination

lol yes I had thought about giving her a bit of the Klear treatment to get some shine on the skin in some places - forehead, breastbone, upper arms and upper thighs were my likely targets for that..

A year and a bit later, I'm finally going to call this complete!

During my clearing out to move the modelling stuff out to the shed, I found Sara left on the self (ahhhh poor girl) and decided it was time to - ahem - finish her off.

She was last left with some issues that needed to fix, in particular herr eyes - they were too small and "piggy". I did get some advice about using Archer decals for the eyes and sourced some last year which have been sitting beside Sara waiting for me to find some interest. So today was the day! I used the smallest of the decals, trimming the top an bottom a little bit as you only ever see the whole pupil of the eye when someone drops ice down your back or you sit on a drawing pin! I then tidied up her face a bit, cleaning off some of the shading I'd done before that was frankly overdone - too much slap on her face!!!

I'm not sure her face has a huge amount of expression now, but I've decided that this is good enough. I've got another kit of Sara I picked up off eBay for next to nothing, plus another vinyl kit in the same range that I will have a go at one day. This was built for the chance to do something different and it was very interesting and was one of my first chance to use the airbrush last year.

Now since this lovely lady has a certain resemblance to my ever loving (hence why I made her brunette instead of blonde), I will rename this to Alina in her honour!

So may I present the delectable Alina - and friend...

You can't see them well in this photo but trust me the eyes are much better than before...

I'm particularly happy with the face of the dragon, that came out exceptionally well I thought

[Guest]

Big 5 stars from me!!

Glad to see this one finished Andrew, and what a job you have done on her ( oops may sound wrong ) 5 stars from me

Great work Andrew. Must be difficult to get the flesh looking right but I think you've done well. The dragon has also come out nicely too.
