First time using water effects. Need to wait for them to dry, then on to finish the last few details.

The base turned out really well and the water effect has added to the feel of it

Thanks. I had to go back and add a second layer of water, since it seems to shrink a bit as it dries. No big deal. I am really pleased with the way she is turning out. Not a lot left to do - hat, boots, hair, scabbard.
Then on to the next, which I still have to pick haha.

So I ran into something interesting with the water effects - it seems to be able to climb up objects.
I filled the base once, let it set, and then filled it a second time. It's still lower than I had hoped once it cures, but I'm not sure I'm going to add a third layer.
Look how far up the box it went though:
It's two thirds of the way up the box. It's crept up the idol and chests too.
On another note, she's getting really close. Boots, hat, scabbard, hair.

Oh the joys of capillary action and clear resin ! I like the look personally looks like the water is lapping around the items

Very interesting. It's all looking great.

Thanks guys. I seem to have made a misstep on the scabbard. I had intended it to be sort of ivory with gold accents. But the colors used to lighten the scabbard itself and the colors used in the gold NMM are some of the same colors - leading it all to blend together. Hmm.
Hair got some highlights too.
Still need to sort out the hat and give the boots a quick shade. Almost there. *oh, and the gun barrels. And the bandage on her leg. And the band on her hat.*
On an unrelated note - I let my wife pick the next mini to work on, since I have so many and I can get overwhelmed trying to pick one. It was a good idea, since she picked something I wouldn't have.

A few small touches left, but it's effectively done. It's been ages, and to be honest I did get into a bit of a "god I just want this done" mode at the end, but it's finally complete.
