The Axe
Well, 2 kits done in less than a month ... I guess I can actually state that I am in fact, painting again!! Smile Here are a couple pics of The Axe (200mm) from Pegaso which is just a fantastic model. There was a ton of assembly ... 40 pieces and with all the complex 3-D shapes (no not her upper frontals, but the axe, the raised arm etc.) she had to be painted in 5 assemblies which is something a little foreign to me, but I think it worked out real well. I tried to give her armor a "futuristic, power armor" feel to it ... I wanted it to look metallic but not be too shiny ... I wanted a "heft" to it. How else would Miss Nude Universe defeat such a nasty robotic foe? I also went w/ a gold coloring because I wanted to accentuate the valkyrie feel of our heroine and went w/ a rusty theme on the robot to also help with the believability that our futuristic vixen could take out her adversary. I played around w/ some object source lighting to give the eyes the feel that they were glowing w/out using LEDs or anything like that ... just paint ... which I was also very pleased with. There is a close-up in a collage should also be up soon. There are plenty more pics on my site ... I hope you enjoy looking at her as much as I did painting her. http://sivousplay.com/html/the_axe.html jim
