Work in Progress: Alice from Queen's Gate

Just so you know what's in store for you next :D
I've been working on this on and off for the past few weeks.
I've tried adapting Valloejo Game Colors for use with the airbrush, but they don't seem to work very well with garage kit primers: some spots keep flaking off, which is very annoying considering I have to work with masking tape a lot, and it's not pleasante when you have patches of skin coming off every time you remove the tape after a paint layer.

I've used chalk powder to shade the hair, let me know what you think.

The Dark Elf

And so it came to be, the first of my "new" generation of garage kits.
The Fox lady I completed a long while back was still all hand-brushed, but after I bought an airbrush I've been eager to test it on these large scale models. In time I will use it to do some WH40k tanks, but for now there's just a Rhino playing victim for my airbrush settings.

Most of the large surfaces, such as the skin, the skirt and the boots, were done with the airbrush; the rest of the details, like the bronze-colored parts, were painted in after with a normal brush.

Anyways, here it is. A dark elf out of Lineage II (haven't played the game so I'll have to believe that part), in a 1:6 scale, standing 26cm tall. I couldn't find any info on the sculptor, but there's a 1:8 PVC figure from Good Smile Company I believe this sculpt is based off (perhaps a recast even).



The cast on the skirt came incomplete, so only half of the details could be seen, whereas the other half was just a plain blank. Which means I had the pleasure of sculpting out what was missing :P


To top it off, a close up of the face and the eyes; the latter were hand-painted with a brush, along with the hair and the lips. Of course she has gloss on the lips and the nail polish, but the sealer I used to protect the figure kinda dimmed the effect (though it's still slightly noticeable).


The wooden base was bought as-is and it came painted in white. I drilled the pin holes so the elf could stand, but the leg pose was so odd I had to use putty to stabilize and prevent her from tipping over.

I hope you enjoyed this and will stay tuned for more.
