Still waiting for the close you though. It's a shame not to be able to see that cute face, after you worked so hard on it.

Hi Monica, outstanding build & paint job, the base sets it of just right you should be very proud of this build.

I have only one problem with this build & I hate to say it, but I feel it's in the spirit of this forum & this is what it's all about.

The sword (Tahi Katana) she is holding is the wrong way up, No sword person would carry it with the sharp edge on the shoulder.

I noticed on the box art it is the correct way up, I am kicking myself for pointing out such a minor point and hope you will forgive me.

ta Tommy so glad you like her,with these big eye,s lol,

I will get on to that Ian,as i only use my phone so will do my best,

hi John,glad you like her and thank you for such nice comments,

ooops, and you know that you are right,and in no way do i mind it being pointed out,and thank you,

thats is why we are hear to help each other,

so do i leave it and live with it,?

'' it will probable bug me so much,''

or do i try to change it around ,with all that super glue holding it ?

 

[Guest]

As you say Monica it will bug you like nothing, maybe try a little of the stuff that helps remove super glue, if not you'll just have to live with it. SORRY.

John

 

[monica]

Sword I didn't even see a sword I'll go back and look.

Seriously though cracking job would love to have a go at some of these type of figures but really don't think I could get them looking anything near this good.

[monica]

ta Dave,so glad that you like her and do real appreciate the nice comments,

I dont see why you cannot have a go at them,as you can always wash it

and start again if not happy,and i think the thing is the challenge in doing it,that scary me,

but thats the fun part,

 

[BBdave]

Do you brush paint or airbrush? Oils,acrylics,enamels?

Dave

 

[monica]

a bit of both,undercoat AB,,base coat AB,shadows basic outlay,AB,

then will give another coat of the base colors over the shadowing with AB,

and after that ever think is done by brush all of the finer detailing work,

hope that this is of some help as my skills with the AB,are not good enough to do with the AB,

still trying to work out how to use it that way,what needle sizes i need to be using to try that,

 

[Ian M]

Oh! that sword. lol

Ian M

 

[monica]

[monica]

well Ian i final got around to doing this one for you,hope you like the closeup,s

not sure i real got her face ,but the other i did lol,
