Shar2 Posted February 1, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASH4077 Posted February 1, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 She looks a tad less "cuddly" than Alice, Dave! Will watch this with interest! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted February 1, 2012 Share 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted February 1, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted February 1, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shar2 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share 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 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Well, everything went together a lot quicker and easier than I had expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted February 3, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 3, 2012 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted February 3, 2012 Share 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!

Shar2 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
