Kit Review Seam lines: 4/5 Pinholes: 3/5 Casting: 4/5 Fit: 3/5 Part Break: 5/5 Help {This kit is surprisingly difficult for such a small size, due to the need for coordination among a lot of body parts, i.e. many parts are touching each other. More in the Building section below. |

BuildingThe original art has Maya wearing a black shirt, but a white shirt is much better for transparency π Katayama-san actually sculpted in the bra strap on the back of her shirt, so I decided to paint the bra green/blueish gray and mist with white. Same treatment for the front. I used glazing (?) for the jeans and got very good results. Just apply a light base coat to it and wash the darker color in oil. Then when it has dried a bit (just an hour with drying agent applied) start wiping off the raised area. This procedure is similar to but more convenient than the wash-drybrush cycle.
I test fitted some and found that the arms don’t really fit well into the shirt. Also the legs aren’t really in contact with the jeans when you snap them in, so you really should pin the legs. The left hand which is typing on the lap top rests on the left leg, and the right hand holding the cookie has to sync up so that the cookie is in her mouth. The legs are also touching each other. So there are many dependencies between parts. I suggest finishing the lower body first before test fitting the upper body, and you may have to heat and reshape the left arm so that the hand, leg and laptop are all touching each other.
Finally the hair spots one of the most successful application of interference color (violet). The highlights gives out the violet color but not anywhere else. |
