Building GK Race Queen Rei 1/1

Started some work on Rei: Test fitting, Pinning and the addition of magnets. After that I came to the idea of building a Lance of Longinus with wire. Looks OK so far. I'm waiting for supplies to continue the work now...

You ripped her apart, you monster! xD Did you ever think about painting her? It looks difficult though, you'd have to have a steady hand and a lot of accuracy.

@DeathDude72

She's in the state of last year. Deciding on how to paint the dress and which base skin color I could use gives me a bit trouble. But the real head-ache starts every time I try to plan painting those tiny eyes.

But I still haven't given up. Finishing her just moved onto the long-time goals list XD

are u almost done with this figure?

[lhasarus]

@sopheaku

Haha...I've abandoned it for now. Figure painting is scary so I'll stick with mechas.

Next months I'll go to a local workshop maybe I'll learn enough skills there to continue my work on this kit.

The only thing left to do at this kt is painting. All the pre-paining stuff is done.

Great work so far. Very nice idea with the magnets.

Why doesnt anyone show how to pin?

I always see the results but never the process.

[lhasarus]

Thanks.

Well I didn't show the pinning because I did it the first time. I'll do it with the next kit (if there will be one ;-) ).

m_candy did a good video on pinning called

'm_candy's Resin Kit Tutorial - Part 2'

Check that out!

Cheers!

that woudl be great to mount it on the top of a beer can, give it a real Nascar feel haha, jk

[ModelManTom]

Great ideas!

[lhasarus]

I also did some papercraft Gundam + Macross figures. But I lost the links so I thought it would be pointless showing the models if they aren't accessable.

I'm trying to paint the eyes. It's chalanging and I think it'll look wring but it'll boost up my painting skills a lot if I get it done right.

Thought of the decal method but getting the eye in the right size would be troublesome. In addition to that I've to get decal papers first ^^

[Deathscythehell85]

Do you do all types of modeling?The magnets was a great Idea.Painitng the eyes are going to be hard.But can you maybe find her eyes on the net and copy it to photoshop and print it on decal paper.
