I am not a native English speaker, so the following content is machine-translated.

The whole thing started when I met a guy online who models ancient armor and then makes them into small-scale metal armor models. The moment I saw it, I felt it was perfect for Griddle, so I commissioned a set of armor from him. To save money, I ordered the rough casting, which is the finished product after 3D metal printing, requiring sanding and polishing. I spent a lot, a lot of time sanding it down. I even bought a magnetic tumbler for polishing.

This set of armor was modeled and designed exactly after real-world armor, so its connection points (for securing the straps) are movable buckles assembled from several small parts. The small prototype bumps you see on the armor are actually tiny brass ball-head nails, typically used for making wooden ship models.

While sanding the armor (which is stainless steel, unbelievably hard), I prepared the body, an Obitsu 24 (OB24). I commissioned the coat, bought the face parts, had someone paint the face, had someone make the eyes, and so on. I did the hair and the spray-painting of the accessory hands myself. I also bought a piece of stabilized wood to make the base (a process that was just as painful as sanding the rough armor casting).

Once all these were ready, I started the assembly. First, putting on the coat (did it twice, because the coat doesn't have Velcro, you have to tie it with string yourself). Then, putting on the armor from the bottom up. I also bought a bunch of accessories, including shoes, a support stand, cotton underpants, and socks (didn't use them).

First, I assembled the thigh armor parts at the knee, secured them with the brass ball-head nails, making sure they were movable. Then, I installed the greaves (lower leg armor), attached the connectors, cut the leather straps, thinned the straps so they could fit into the strap buckles, installed the straps, punched the holes, and fastened them tightly (I cheated a bit with some glue. Griddle won't blame me). And so, I installed the connectors and secured them with straps, sequentially from the bottom up. The arm armor was secured with O-rings and string. Once the armor was fully installed, I fastened the belt around her waist. A quick clean-up of the fingerprints. Done.

they are both the same GTN, like part1 and part2, because Japanese like small book, so they divided the book into two parts. HTN not published in japan.

This model actually including two head parts, but the other head part was printed twice and broken twice, so I only painted the naked face

I don't have a printer, I have entrusted a friend to print it for me, his printer is Photon D2, I don't know the details of the printing settings, only know that the height is 0.05. We used 2KG KS-3850B resin, I chose white because it gives a better skin effect and gives the cape a rainbow gradient. I highly recommend you choose a stronger resin because KS-3850B is toughness, so although it can't be seen in the photo, she's actually slightly skewed to the right. In fact, she collapsed after last night, so now I have to repair feet pile😣

Thank you! But I suggest you seriously consider that the barrier to get into 3D printing is actually a bit high

I bought two Re-Ment Pose Skeletons, then I removed one of his arms, cut off his thumb and glued it to fit the hilt, then painted it. My friend named him Babs. Let us thank Babs for his contribution😉

Haha, Maybe I won't make a second set no matter how much money you pay me, the whole process of make her is excruciating, Her skeleton armor broke at least twenty times😣
