Testing... 1 ..2... Is this thing still on? 😯 Man has this account been collecting like a ton of dust, should I vacuum it all off and start up again? Haven't been to Tumblr in YEARS, is it even worth it?

🎨 Watch me Paint: Lelei La Lalena's Eyes! 👀

[leonasworkshop]

Finished Lelei a little while back, I was originally live streaming the WIP process but due to time constrictions, I was not able to continue doing it. It was up to me to make a base, so I decided to go with a somewhat simple base where she is magically holding all these swords around her ready to throw them at the Dragon on Episode 17. I Since dragon had thrown his fire everywhere, the whole scene was fire red, so the front of the base was painting to represent that she was facing the dragon and the blue aura on the floor is to represent her actual magic casting, adding some blue LED lights to complete the effect :) I hope you guys like her! #GATE #Leleilalalena #GateJieitaiKanochiniteKakuTatakaeri #anime #manga #figure #figurine #modelkit #modelfigure #gk #garagekit #resinkit #resinmodel #customfigure #custompainting #modelpainting #modelbuilding #figura https://www.instagram.com/p/BrMnv4EFJGf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dni7xc85s7im

Another commission finished! 😁 This is Charagumi's Shantae, it was an original kit. Now, I've always had a lot of things to say about this charagumin line from Volks, so since I've been a little too cheap to buy an original charagumin just for an editorial/wip video, I took the chance to film the process of the painting of this kit when it dropped on my lap. Video will follow the skintone tutorial (part 1) as it will give me the opportunity to continue editing the rest of the material I have. For now, please enjoy the finished product! Client was extremely happy to finally have her painted (his story to come in the video!) #shantae #gk #garagekit #resinkit #resinfigure #resinmodel #modelkit #capcom #modelbuilding #modelpainting #charagumin #volks #videogame #figure #anime #manga #ps4 #nintendo #collection #collectable #figura #videojuego #estatua #coleccion #genio #modelismo https://www.instagram.com/p/BqtZYQplojz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e2p9azp3vpz6

Doing some work with Lelei La Lalena from Gate. It's been a tedious work so far, the cast is not that great, but the sculptor kinda fucked up how he divided the kit, both front and back floating robe pieces have extremely thin connections, you can barely fit a pin that can hold the weight of said pieces so I had to do a little bit of modding so that they can stay in place. The dress part was also divided in 2 so I had to unify them but then I noticed that oversanding messed up the details on one of the sides, so on top of connecting both pieces, I also had to so some resculpting on the creases on her thigh. The hair is also messed up, a lot of small resin trash from the molds that I have to sand down and to make matters worse, the damn head piece rolled off of my desk because my damn floor is slightly slanted so yeah, a few of the hair strands will need to be resculpted because I just couldn't find the pieces on the floor with so much crap from sanding and puttying 😑 The staff was made of resin but it was so thin that when I would attach the top part, it would bend so I said FUCK IT! And exchanged it for a metal rod. Always nice when you start with your right foot with projects eh? #leleilalalena #lelei #gate #gatejieitaikanochinitekakutatakaeri #anime #jrpg #wizard #gk #garagekit #resinmodel #resinfigure #resinkit #modelkit #modelbuilding #modelpainting #figure https://www.instagram.com/p/BokxHX-FD0b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iq85c55gmgu8

Finally, after probably 2 years, I finish a personal kit. I actually started to work on her along with the other group order I had with her but I was feeling bad for focusing a little time on a personal kit and decided to not work in her at the same pace as the others 😔 so I've been working on her on and off for over a year... Commission guilt is a thing, guys. Still , I'm happy this is the last time (hopefully) that I paint this particular kit. Now she sits along the rest of my proplicas collection 😊 #sailormoon #supersailormoon #sailormoons #sailormoonsupers #sailormooncollectable #mooniemerch #sailormoonfigure #moonie #mooniefan #proplica #sailormoonfan #usagitsukino #gk #garagekit #resinmodel #resinfigure #resinkit #modelkit #modelbuilding #modelpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/BoAlYHVliEq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u1k87klqt1tp
