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.
