I Can't Paint

Ok I now admit that I can't paint figures.

Painting figures takes a different approach of painting models. Unlike painting mecha models, where most of the time you just spray, spray and spray (unless you are doing damage or shadowing), you have to know where the highlight is, and how to show the expression it has. Well, I guess you won't know where you went wrong without trying it first hand. So here is the complete pic:

Been sick for the whole week so the finish touch is horriable, I will paint another one sometime in the future once I feel better.









Ran out of flat coat........ have no choice but to suck it up and finish it with clear top coat since needs to finish this one asap.... been sick for the entire week.

Yeah I know... I didn't show the kind of effort I put it on compare to one of my old mecha works(Ex-S, see label). Please... throw the eggs if you want, but let me put something on first...

Colors!

And this is why I don't have much post recently...

First of all, casting the base:

Added few left over plastic runners to create the pour in spot and spaces for air to escape.



Then, place it inside the casting block, and just pour silicon rubber in to it.



And here is the 3 piggies before the one of them about to get painted =P.

So, here comes the exciting part, painting!

Here are the colors I'm planing to use:



And here is what I have done so far......







The head is pretty much done, only needs to finish up the eye.

There are two more colors left on the body, should be finish soon.

The base is done.

Check back on the weekend for the finished pics hopefully!

Vance Project Figure Starter Set

Hello ppl this is Yamisword, here is my first sculpting project, Vance Project Figure Starter Set 1:

click here

Here are the WIP pics:

First I should explain what comes with this starter set.



(pic stolen from hobbywave XD)

Mr.clay, a set of sand paper from 400 up to 1200, a guide book for starters, a craft knife, mr.instant glue, a hobby knife and two tools that used for sculpting (I have no idea how to call them, please for give me <_<)

Here is the design in book =P



By start things off, I made a basic shape of the body, with holes everywhere:



Then apply clay to fill in the holes, as well as the try to get the shape of the head:



Then here comes the nose:



Next we have the ears, along with some simple drawing of the face and stuff:



Then here comes the eyes:



However, the nose didn't turn out to the way I wanted while I was doing some sanding today, so I filled up, and added details to the body:



side view:




Here is the complete pic, managed to finish most of the sculpting work by last week, now I need to make a mold of this and cast it =D.







Please, don't hesitate to leave any criticisms and feedback, I'm looking forward to hear the ideas and suggestions from you experts out there!
