Not a mini, but.....

Not a mini, but.....
I've seen a few on here, and I decided I would make a go of it.
I got a "kit" from the ebay, LOL, and it was cheap so I know it's a knock-off, but I don't care, since it is my first attempt at such a scale.

She is Lei Fang from DOA.

There are more than a few "Problem areas", that don't dry fit well. and a few air bubbles in the casting of the skirt extensions.

But I will be working on her tonight, so I figured I'd post an "Out of the box" starting image.

wish me luck!

How tall is it altogether?

10 1/4 inches.

 

[No Such Agency]

Is this one of those pervy kits you'll have to hide if girls come over?

 

[JesterzUSMC]

No, no, she's fully clothed, just a bit heavily endowed.

 

[JesterzUSMC]

CHange of plan.
The kit is so badly cast, that there's no way I am going to be able to get her to look right as is.
SO, I've decided to try converting her over to something more hobby related.
Can't decide.

[JesterzUSMC]

*cough*

who is that?

 

[GraveRisen]

who is that?

It's a Khador widowmaker unit champion. Not even a named character, just really badass

 

[JesterzUSMC]

Pose is off. But I will consider it.

 

[JesterzUSMC]

Honestly, I can really see a Callidus assassin in that pose...

Like This one:

Maybe.......!

 

[GraveRisen]

hmmm..... you're right the pose is a bit off. Unless she's smearing blood down her cheek.

The pose feels very.... sexy assassin. Femme fatale. Death cult perhaps?

 

[Kathie von Vhoorl]

I would vote Assassin .. either Callidus or DeathCult. Deathcult would give you more freedom to sculpt up outfits and gear etc.

 

[SkelettetS]

i vote harlequin! just for the coolness

 

[JesterzUSMC]

I've been playing around in photoshop with the Callidus and Harlequin Ideas.
I can't decide which would be:
1.) easiest to sculpt
2.)easiest to paint
and
3.)look the best at the end.....

 

[SkelettetS]

3) is the only thing thats improtant.

..or aint you up for a challenge?

QFT, make it a piece that you'll learn as much as possible from, being large scale it is rather forgiving, small offsets won't be as visible as on small models in the end. A challenge is more fun to follow through and what gives you the best feeling when finished.

 

[JesterzUSMC]

Yeah, okay.

@Kathie von Vhoorl ~ Callidus definately. There are plenty of larger scale (Inquisitor) Death Cult Assassins (Severina and Sevora).
@SkelettetS ~ I love Harley's too!
@ Chrome ~ QFT


So painting a large scale harlequin wouldn't be as challenging as trying to paint a nice ALL BLACK large scale assassin.
but Sculpting a harlequin would be harder than sculpting some attachments to the arms and a braided pony-tail.

So either it's an easy sculpt challenging paint job, or challenging sculpt and bread and butter paint job.


oh yeah and
@SkelettetS ~ Bite me...LOL.
