Thanks for the tip, but do you think a wash would be effective over a flat coat like this?

I have finally finished that mini Nadia resin figure. It's real tiny, so the closer I get to it, the more the flaws become obvious. I'm also working on a sofubi of Priss from Bubblegum Crisis.

I saw a video on YouTube in which a modeler used Lego ball joints for his Imai/Bandai Monster kit. Somebody sent me a link to that video and the result looks great. (I think it could have been the builder himself, but I can't remember.) I cannot recall the name of the channel, but maybe you can find the video through a search. I'm also finding that Japanese model builders can provide a lot of great information too on modifying these older kits to really make them look much better, less stiff and more stylized. Your work on that Gerwalk is fantastic

My Rei and Asuka sofubi figures are coming along. I used dark blue pastel chalk to do the recessed areas of Rei's hair and an acrylic goache mix of burnt umber and red to do Asuka's hair. Then I did a flat clear coat of V-Color to seal them in. I think I'm ready for assembly now.

This J-YT modeler modified the crap out of this old IMAI/Bandai Regult kit with ball joints.

I'd suggest replacing the hands with Kotobukiya's MSG Normal Hands 2020. Use Wave's ball joints to modify the legs to have them splay better. Here is a project I am nearly finished with. This is my build of the old 1:100 Imai Armored Valkyrie I've shared some pics of on here. https://odysee.com/@stevethefishdotnet:2/Imai-Macross-1100-Armored-VF-1J-Valkyrie-plamo-build-1-マクロス　アーマードバルキリー:3

I'm watching Kousaka's video of Aoshima's booth. Looks Kaneda has gone all-out with the whole furry thing. Sheesh. Yet he won't make a VFG of Misa riding a VF-1 Valk.

Which kit is this again?

My Asuka and Rei sofubi figures are looking good! I was thinking I'd do some pastel chalk in their hair to darken the recesses, but I haven't decided yet.

Fixed! I just used a bit of Tamiya's pink brown wash and then used Tamiya gloss pink acrylic for her tongue. Here's a link to my photoset on Tumblr.

Hey, you're right! I overlooked that detail. Thanks!

My most recently completed build, Claire Frost from Hasegawa's Eggplane Girls series of 1:12 scale resin figure kits.

I've got the very first kit, with the no-name blue-haired girl. I can scan if you'd like.

@nightmareB4macross That's always been my favorite pose, the one between Fighter and Gerwalk with the legs extended and the arms retracted. That looks cool.

Imai's kit was 1:100 and Arii's kit was 1:72. typically Arii kits had better surface detail, but Imai had overall better proportions. Some of the Arii kits are awkward-looking. Their Glaug though was pretty good. I've never seen one in-person, but builds I've seen of it look nice.
