Mila's accident . . .

[OffTheSprue]

About a fortnight ago Mila had a lil whoopsie,
Off the windowsill, riccoched off the desk and fell into the eternal darkness that is full of bits boxes and basing materials.
i found most of her and as you can see , and promised myself if i ever found the arm to give her a repaint!!!

 

[OffTheSprue]

Hail the arm!

 

[OffTheSprue]

So now all i have to do is:
Straighten the fingers,
Straighten gun barrel,
Strip paint,
Pick out the glue,
And the easy bit . . . repaint her :sarcastic:

Luckily these are beautiful figures to paint, so bad news good news. bad news shes wrecked, good news i get to repaint a beautifully sculpted figure.

So ill leave it here and post updates soon. J.

 

[OffTheSprue]

Tad dah!! Good as new . . .
Nearly,
Now the fun bit. id realy like to push myself on this repaint, so anything anyone can throw in will be greatly appreciated.

 

[OffTheSprue]

Anyone any ideas for a colour scheme, was thinking black with white armor, but might struglle on the whites!

Ive got till i paint the face and base to decide.

 

[OffTheSprue]

Was happy with the head IRL, but looking at it on screen:
The hair could do with another wash n highlight
the visor could do with better gradient fron top-bottom and finer edge highlight. . .
im on it!

 

[OffTheSprue]

Now im hoping to get the rest of her armour looking like her left leg, i cand highlight anymore as its at pure white,
Should i create more shadows or is it looking good?
there seems to be more contrast IRL!

 

[KruleBear]

Wow, the original paint job was very nice. It will bee neat to see what you accomplish the second time around.

 

[OffTheSprue]

Thanks Bear, to be honest, if the accident would not have chipped her boob i would have repaired instead of re painting.
i have added more shadow on the armour as it looked a bit flat in the pictures,i have a couple of blends to do, but heres where im at so far:

The face is looking good, needs some mor es hadji g but probably isn't finished.
as for the colour scheme, how about a turquoise armour ?

 

[OffTheSprue]

thanks gandalf, im gonna keep going with the white/creme armour, but turqoise got me thinking.
theres a couple of things that could do with a little osl light, and after your comment i think turqoise is the way to go.
Also was classing the face as done, but youve convinced me to put a lil more shading into it.

Cheers Gandalf.
