Giving the fox girls some love

In a dark corner on the top shelf of a cabinet in my parents' house, I found pieces of a long forgotten garage kit I once bought at a comic convention. By the looks of it, and the layer of dust that had built up, it's been there for probably more than a decade.

Once again I realized how much stuff I buy, especially model kits such as Gundams and the like, when under the effects of a Con frenzy. Assuming I don't forget them in some dark and cold corner, like it happened with this one, they simply pile up on my working table, patiently waiting for their turn.

After some mandatory part cleaning, it became obvious that the primer I used back then had reacted with the resin in a very strange way, turning the surface into something textured and no longer smooth. I'm guessing that's probably the reason I shelved it: I was unable to correct that much failure. Until now, that is.

I didn't sandpaper the whole model, because that would have been way too much work, but I did use it here and there, where the surface was really bad and rough, before I started the paint job.

Anyways, many months later, allow me to introduce you to the finished result.

The plinth is an upturned flower pot with a sculpted pillow on top.

Enjoy!
