Eyes Lacquer: Un-stirred Walther Decal Dulling Varnish
Pen: Steadler Pigment Liner 0.1
This one is pretty small, but I already worked on a smaller 1/12 and it was fun stuff to work with it. However, I was impressed by the age of this kit. Just seeing it, you can tell it's from the first time GK was popular. The resin is a strange textured pinkish plastic. The head was full of pin hole, but except that, the figure was nicer than I thought. The only thing I can deplore is the fact I wasn't unable to find the paint scheme anywhere. An other low point, old GK have strange and irrational break parts. By exemple, they cut part in the middle of an arm. It's what happen with Madoka and the pieces weren't of the same size. It was just annoyaing to patch, sand and repaint, with the risk to destroy the paint job on her dress. My first idea was to paint her skirt in glossy black leather, her shirt in blue and her jacket in red. However, I discovered it wasn't a skirt but a dress. So I decided to watch few OAV to remember her clothing. In the episode ending at the bar, I discovered she was wearing a dress very similar to this one. It was a dark red velvet dress with a pink jacket. It's incredible, it is almost the same color scheme gluefinger used for his sexy Agent Najica!!! ^^
I bought this original garage kit from AnimeFigureKits.com for only 26.00 $ US. A very good shop to get old stuff at good price, with the excellent Emilie's service.
Though her hair was black till I saw the last photo.
The colors look really good on her, i love the dress very much.
Well done !

I like those expressive eyes, it's so real
she has character.
You did a great job on this one.

that's quite unsual to see figures from old good in-some-way-forgotten series, and only for that : )
i follow tfcreate i'm amazed by the smoothness you did on it (1/12 : around 10 cm ?) and the details you put in the eyes (which is only really shown on the last picture).
Nice job. I like it. The smaller scales are fun to work with.
Did you use blue or gray to highlight the hair?

So how's this, years ago when I got started my friend played "Traveler." The game pieces were 10 mm! He gave them to me and I painted up a bunch. Drybrushing and highlights and all! I have NO IDEA where any of them ended up. But those were fun.

i love the shading on her dress, it looks like real silk and her eyes look very expresive!
you are right about the flesh, it is very pale but that could be just the pictures and the black background.
she's an interesting model, you can tell just by looking at her that she is an old sculpt. it's all those rounded curves in her body. she's very well proportioned... a great find for a model.
Another series from the 80's that I wish there were models of would be maison ikkoku, would be fun to paint up Kyoko.
I've never seen the movie before, just the OAV and TV series. is it good?
I like the more natural proportions and how you rendered them.
