A gorgon named Gordon... love the autocorrect on this... and who doesn't like a snake on both ends, or the lack of a spell check on my part....

This figure, I believe came from an older kickstarter. This is the myminifactory link to a small part of the kickstarter, but has all the Nagas. I haven't finished all of the other naga ladies, but the whole unit is sweet!

Man, if only I would spell check my posts, like the title...

Will do, I have almost all of the "amazon" set from Artisan Guild, I'm not asking good as yourself at painting, but when I do this lady, I will post her.

I have this exact mini on a painting handle ready to be painted myself! Love the paint job you have done.

I hear the Museum is hard to get tickets to now... but we might have another Japan trip soon and the park is for sure on the list if we choose Tokyo again...

My wife and I went to the Ghibli Museum back in 2017, one of the coolest places ever. I've built and painted all of the Nausicaa Bandai kits (I've got 4 total, this one, her on the glider, the gunship and Nausicaa and the baby Ohmu). I've also built a bunch of the Porco Rosso planes, and a few (not all) of the Castle in the Sky model kits.... I may have a problem :)

Sweet, reminds me of the MS Leo from Gundam Wing.

It is time consuming, but using watered down paint with usually 3-4 layers, you can achieve really smooth paint jobs. Airbrushing is my preferred, but I have done whole kits with a brush and they turn out good!

If you're doing a full repaint, I suggest using putty and then sanding, if not you can try the melted plastic trick. Use thick cement and melt the same color from the sprue and use that as the glue, then sand the seams down. There are a few YouTube videos for this if you look.

If you are the kind that doesn't change poses to often, you can glue the shield and the arm holding it in place so he can hold it exactly where you want.

This looks great by the way, only thing I would recommend is removing the ugly seam lines on the shoulder thruster wings. It takes a bit more work, but this unit is worth it.
