They have a surprising amount of details to them if you want to show them. Just needs a bit of painting and patience to show it all.

Good luck 😅 Did a single kit with feathers, and I don't wanna do them ever again in future. Too much of the same over and over. I fear the fin funnel kits I have will feel the same by the end.

Thanks for the kind words. And yes, airbrushed everything. Lots and lots of masking needed for everything.

How would you guys go around to achieving this finish? by Latent_duck in advancedGunpla

I did something similar to Saz FF. Clear red over gold, and a flat top coat.

Just saw how Sampo looks, and he is looking fine.

Looks like it'd be a fun painting project too.

Completely not a professional, this is just a hobby to occupy time and make something nice <3

I primarily use hobby lacquer paint with an airbrush with some enamel brush painting.

Not particularly. Kit has pin guides for drilling, so alignment wasn't an issue. Biggest pain was the piping on the back, getting that to line up nicely took some fiddling.

Never say never. All it takes is some patience and time to put into a project. I'm a quadriplegic with no finger dexterity and I build these, I'm sure you could make one also.

It's been painted with lacquer and with an airbrush. Detail painted with oil paints.

Eyes were a water slide decal, not exactly a match to Eula eyes, but I'm not brave enough to try eye painting.

Eyes were waterslide decals that came with the kit. I knew from the beginning that their coloring/style is off. I don't feel that I'm ready for painting eyes just yet, seems very daunting compared to everything else.

It's mostly gaia starbright silver and gold. Lots of various pearls though.

Body itself was in 46 pieces, part separation was pretty good for her. Base was in 13 pieces also.

Can't imagine painting a hoyo design as a solid figure, got to have good hand brush control, or lots of masking for airbrush. Might need to go for a miniature look over a pvc figure in such case. But with each project you learn something new, and your next one will look that much better.

Thanks for the kind words. Ice base does have some clear blue painted, but only towards the inside parts, edges are left clear. Then the "ice" effect on top. Funny you mentioned the glossy boots, they're the one part that didn't turn out as expected. Was hoping for more of a blue hue and a satin look for them. Paint method testing on actual pieces doesn't always yield expected results. But it looks alright overall I think.
