First ever kit finished!

It was an experience trying to paint this one. A lot things went wrong but ultimately I got the result I wanted. I changed the hair color of the original kit. You can find this kit on 
GK-M or E2046.

Just finished Dejah Thoris. This was digitally sculpted by Kuton Art and produced/printed by Crimson Raven Miniatures. 

I absolutely loved assembling and painting this one. She's as close to a perfect print as I think I've ever worked on.

Comments and constructive criticism are always welcome and appreciated. Thanks for taking a look and stay tuned for more!

Space Godzilla Poster Ver. by Susuki Garage
https://myfigurecollection.net/item/2148815

This GK was released recently during Wonder Fes 2024 and I just found out recently about it. Just wondering if there is anywhere I can acquire this kit for around the price it went for (65,000 yen) or slightly higher than that as the only ones I have found are 3-5x times the price. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know where to acquire this Space Godzilla GK?

Pin vise works but it's too slow. All the pro GKers on YouTube use small electric hand drills anyways. Which one do you guys recommend? The one Leona recommends is OOS on Amazon with no price. Looking for something good quality but not too expensive hopefully.

Drill recommendations?


Looking at some the figures a lot of them have very thin details like long hair strands, lingerie or clothes that are hollow and basically have to be put onto a nude figurine, and I just don’t understand what materials these guys are using to sculpt stuff like this? Also sculpting in the more tight spots like the armpits and boobs, or where they make the crevice for cleavage really sharp and deep, how do they sand these crevices withought sanding unwanted spots? Aspecially the casting process of some of the more intricate parts that basically look like an ant nest. I started using monster clay not to long ago but that stuff is too flimsy for work like this and I am very curious about their techniques and materials.

What materials do anime figure sculptors use for theirs prototypes???

There’s some kits that include prepainted eyes. Are those good for starting off? How many parts is good for someone first kit? I have been browsing garage kits. I am planning on doing my first during the summer(currently hoarding materials)

1/7 玄龍門主 竜華キサキ from BlueArchive finish :)

Just finished my second Gk

I just finished painting this 3d printed rendition of Frank Frazetta's Savage Pellucidar. 

It's printed in 1/8th scale and I love the way I turned out. That being said, this kit was a bit difficult to work with. The keying was pretty bad with lots of cutting being necessary to get things to fit but I was able to adapt and overcome. 

As always, comments and constructive criticism are always appreciated and thank you guys for taking a look!

Finished Sailor Saturn performing her Death Ribbon Revolution attack 🪐

The figure is gorgeous. The parts separation makes painting really enjoyable. 

I recently got an unexpensive airbrush and this is the third project I used it on. This time I did most of the painting with it and only minor detailwork (and the face of course) by hand. Shadings were deepened with pastels additionally. Did some details with chrome paint and left them unsealed. I'm very interested to see how those age.

I went for a pale skintone and a stern expression. I've always loved the mature appearance of Hotaru and her lore. Love how the bold lashes and her firm determined gaze turned out. 
Tried to give her hair a purple sheen, something between the depiction from the 90s anime and crystal. The hair was painted purple first and then shaded with black and blue pastels. But I don't have that level of control over the airbrush yet, so I opted for building colour this way. Sadly the pictures eat a lot of the shading, especially on the white and the skin - but it's there (somewhere). 

Originally I was hesitant to get her, because I wasn't that fond of the way the transparent parts were sculpted. 
I modified them by grinding down the shape to slimmer more delicate and angular pieces, trying to imitate the depiction from the show. The irregular shape was quite forgiving thankfully! 
It was really annoying to sand those pieces smooth afterwards and they ate a lot of gloss until they were nice and shiny again. 
Got advice to mix my translucent paint with gloss for more control over the saturation and opacity and it worked wonderfully and I managed to get a gradient from deep purple to pastel-almost-nonexistent and the tips. 

The figure balancing on only one foot was a point of worry for me. But they sculpted her in a greatly balanced way. I added two pins to attach her to the foot rest and pinned and glued the hell out of that to firmly attach it to the base and she feels unshakable now. 

Last slide is a shot of the three Outers in this series I've build & painted so far together. 
Can't wait for my Pluto to arrive to complete the set 💜

Any advice on how to strip lacquer (air brush) from resin without ruining the resin?

I painted a figure of Ushikai Musume +eyes steps

Does anyone know which resin kit this is?

Pretty fun Garage kit to do, tried new things and opted to paint the eyes since I could practice a bit with them, everything done with acrylics.

Just finished this yesterday

I’ve been meaning to start doing garage kits for a while but have not had the materials. I’ve seen some really beautiful kits done on here and have been wondering, how long have you guys been doing kits and how good are you at it.

How much time have you guys spent on garage kits

Working on my first kit. I'm no stranger to painting/priming with spray cans before, so I have a decent stockpile of various spray paints. I noticed in Leona's starter supplies video, she shows 2 cans of krylon primer. Is there enough of a difference between paint+primer rattlecans and JUST primer rattlecans for that to matter? I figured getting the surface for paint to stick is what matters most here.

Otherwise, my other option is a vallejo brush on primer, since I do not have an airbrush. 

Any suggestions?
