About The Kit »
Two years later I decided to finish
the horrible recast of Deunan from Appleseed that
I aquired from HobbyFan. Just a recommendation...
avoid their crap at all costs. Everything I got
from them has been junk.
After much clean-up, reconstruction,
and whatnot I finally decided to paint her up.
Instead of my original plan which was to airbrush
all the shading, I decided to go with a more traditional
approach and use oil paint. This allowed me to
get more of a Masamune Shirow cover art feel than
airbrushing would had given me. It also allowed
me to do some great discoloration and weathering
on her battlesuit.
You can see where there's a lot
of rough cast patches on her in the pics. This
is doe to the cast and not the painting. I cleaned
up a lot, but when I originally did the work on
her I didn't know as much as I do now so wasn't
comfortable doing sone of the resculpting that
was needed. If I were to do another, I'd dremel
out just about every indent and crevase since
they're all very rough and resculpt those parts
with Magic Sculpt.
I'd go on about what I did to Deunan,
but instead I did a detailed/documented in-progress
page. Click here to see
it.
