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!!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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 ?

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.
