Boy, seems I'm constantly playing catch-up lately. Earliest images of the Star kit I took come from February... 😛 In case you don't know, Star is is Michael's love interest and a member of David's gang, though she is only half-vampire, having resisted her thirst for human blood. She helps Michael, Sam and the Frog Brothers to battle the gang, seeing it as a way out of her and Laddie's nightmarish existence. After the head vampire Max is killed, Star becomes fully human again and apparently enters a relationship with Michael. s love interest and a member of David's gang, though she is only half-vampire, having resisted her thirst for human blood.

I kind of forget the scale I had the 3D file printed, but I think it's 1/10 or 1/12th. The printing was done by a friend over at Gillusions, from a file by Diklich Arts. The kit came in 6 parts including two heads, body, two arms, two feet and a base- Getting it together was no problem, tho - my fault - I did line up one of the arms crooked that had to be fixed. The next was getting the info for the painting, and while looking at the example paint job, she was wearing a white shirt, and a simple pink/magenta long skirt. However looking at a screen grab of the skirt I was in for an interesting time. The busy design was "interesting", not to mention the multi-color shawl she was wearing and that's also featured in the kit. There's a lot of designs there, not to mention that waist belt she has. Plus looking at the screen grab, she has about 20 bracelets on, and I see a lot of different colors. I'm going to have to get my number 0 brush out along with my opti-visors... I started with a simple flesh tone, brunette hair, and a belt with a lot of purple in it. And the skirt base coat - Now to start the designs on the skirt - And that's where I'm leaving it for now. I was seeing those square plinths with the high backs. So I was thinking of using one of those for Star. I found a screen grab of the abandoned hotel lair the vampires use, and that may be my background. But that's next time. Thanks for looking.

And to think she became a phone sex worker who "couldn't spare a square"...

I finally got to finish something, I have about 5 or 6 projects on the desk - all somewhere between 1 and 50% done. Happy I got this one done... Anyway, it's Chronos' Iroquois, 1755. It's a 75mm kit that has a ton of detail. Just doing the hat - sitting on the stump - really gave my Opti-visors a workout. All of the base is scratch built except for the tree stump that came with the kit. The groundwork is rigid foam over an cut of an interesting piece of wood that I got from the reptile section of a pet store. :lol: Thanks for looking.

Very nice job on a challenging musician's uniform!

Aztec princess mini - at least that's what I'm calling her. I've had this mini around my work desk for literally years. The packaging is long gone, and if you know my note taking skills, you know I don't have any... So no idea of the producer or the name of the kit. She's about 28mm to her eyes, and 34mm to the top of her headdress. So this is actually past my size comfort range. Again being so old, I don't have any early pics of her - if I even took any. This is the earliest shot from when I decided to finish her off a few weeks ago. Doing a generic search, I came up with a lot of headdresses in the blue, green range. So that's what I did as well. Tho I don't know where an Aztec princess would find or want knee high leather boots... The next thing was what am I going to have her stand on? I couldn't see just a simple 25 or 30mm circular base. Thinking of Apocalypto, I also couldn't make a giant temple, but I could do a small one. So I got out my hot wire cutter and used a 1"X1" wooden block as a base. I drew bricks on it and a simulated stair. Next I created a background for her and looking up some Aztec designs, I found one that fit, that could be either a dragon head or fish. Haha I painted it a tan stone color and I was done. Thanks for looking.

That is magnificent! Her close up she shows her incredible beauty too!

Well she's not in the right pose for Cheech and Donna 🤔 Very nice work on your Aztec Princess figureI must say 👍🏼😉
