Just realized I missed part 5 😀 After weighing various options I bought small bottles of EasyCast clear resin for the water. The resin is very runny and takes a while to cure; I could still stir the mixture around after 6-7 hours. But I’m quite impressed how bubble-free the resulting cast is (unless I… Continue reading Reflect Cammy part 6
Reflect Cammy part 5
Having more or less done with the main figure, I’m making a small diorama base for Cammy-chan. The scene depicts Cammy have just done her daily ass-kicking and is relaxing a bit along a river side, dipping her feet in very shallow water. The base is the usual Celluclay fair, but this time in order… Continue reading Reflect Cammy part 5
Reflect Cammy part 4
Argh I think I’ve burned myself out last week doing marathon work on the Silent Mobius plaque. But after getting all the supplies I needed for Cammy this week I’m giving Cammy some due attention 🙂 I was waiting for her eyelashes to come; after seeing how they look on Reflect’s Rei, I think Cammy… Continue reading Reflect Cammy part 4
Attack of the grail kit part 6
I’ve finally gotten the stained glass I was talking about as candidates for the frame. The good news is that they are indeed as fantastic as they were shown from the place where I bought it, coe90.com. The bad news is that like other iridescent materials they are really picky about lighting. These two are… Continue reading Attack of the grail kit part 6
Next: Protect Gear?
While I was working on the recent Silent Mobius and Cammy kits, I was also looking into beefing up my Takara Protect Gear/Jin-roh figure; probably the next project after completing the duo. The make of the figure approaches the quality of garage kits, that’s why I’m loving it 🙂 If I get the armor to… Continue reading Next: Protect Gear?
Attack of the grail kit part 5
OMG over the last week I’ve been detailing one girl per day non-stop, it was exhausting… Right now I have 5 out of the 6 girls’ faces detailed, except Kasumi (lower middle). Still a bit more to go! I still haven’t converged on a good frame idea, arrrggggh 🙂
Reflect Cammy part 3
Did more corrective work on the Reflect Cammy, and now it’s painting time. She’ll be holding her Beret Cap on her right hand, and her unloaded boots will be lying somewhere on the floor.

Warning: RANT I have been having a bad week trying to figure out what I want to do with the frame… seriously, that’s perhaps the least important part of the kit and yet consumes the most thoughts! There are these couple of issues. First, the frame can’t be too detailed, since the girls are already… Continue reading Attack of the grail kit part 4
Attack of the grail kit part 3
After a week of non-stop painting/masking, The plaque is finally taking up color! You’ve gotta see the leftover masking liquid film that I pulled off, it’s insane 🙂 There are many nook and crannies on the kit, the masking film sometimes get lodged in them and make the film hard to pull up. A little… Continue reading Attack of the grail kit part 3
Attack of the grail kit part 2
While waiting for paint/putty to dry on Cammy, I’ve picked up the Silent Moebius Venus plaque again, this time working on it for real 🙂 Originally I wanted to saw off the frame so that I won’t have such a hard time with painting the base, but my largest dremel saw disc couldn’t penetrate the… Continue reading Attack of the grail kit part 2
