▲ 45 r/resinkits
11 kits finished. How obvious is it I've not done these before?
About 7 years ago I bought 11 kits, thinking I'd slowly work through them when I had a free moment, learning as I made them, and never did.
So I spent the last 2 months doing nothing but the kits after work. I know I got things wrong in each kit but it's stuff to improve next time I do one. I used an airbrush for as much as possible.
My hands shake quite a bit so the eyes were painful to do, but still easier than decals I found. Evil evil decals.
- Okami: Shaky hands made the black lines really rough.
- Tifa: Actually really pleased with result. You can't see it but I missed a skin section.
- Kasumi: Evil decals, a pain to set. Some pieces were forced into position.
- Lara Croft: Pretty good, happy with the stonework. Just failed by masking tape protecting the skin.
- Ghost in the Shell: I was happy, but the dynamic pose and base failed. Have to make a new one and reattach the boot. Fingers snapped off putting the gun in place. Superglue to the rescue.
- Alita: Really happy with this one. The butterfly broke but the repair worked well. Plus photo pen for the seam lines.
- Ghost in the Shell: So many tiny details. Found masking tape sticks at one particular colour paint. A black wash turned out better than I thought
- Sunstone: Looks great. Absolutely £%&*! pain. Whatever the primed layer was it came with, it chipped if a fairy farted on it. Some piece are the wrong size, I don't want to risk more damage forcing them into place. And a powdery white coating is starting to appear. Might need another gloss varnish layer.
- Reika: Damn the gun was complicated. Surprised it is holding together but was a good build.
- Rei Ayanami: Simple, but I made the error of starting to assemble before finishing the painting.
- Black Cat: First to finish. Hands too shaky to detail the spider plush cleanly. Liquid mask adheres to matt varnish so it tore at the skin layer. I call that battle damage. Was an interesting experiment to imitate how tight clothing can become translucent
Time for a break I think. And figure out where I'm actually going to put these :D
