This project was fun so far but I am not done yet, because I forgot to print one part of her gear that is placed on the back of her hip.
Once I got that I will also upload more images, showing all sides of the figure.
Had to do touch ups of previously painted areas again and again because I kept being sloppy,.

I am quite happy with how her face and eyes turned out.

What I also enjoyed with this project are the rusted steel beams and pipes. First time I tried something like that. I stippled dark red to orange and yellow tones.

Great result! How did you paint your eyes? At first, I even thought it was a decal.

Motatim Stanislaw
Looking good!

Dash Rendar
Looking very cute and well done! Nice paintjobs 😄

Wait for photos! I plan to make Jane Doe or Ellen Joe myself

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Looking forward to see them! I also found nice stl for Jane, which I'd like to print at some point.
I already managed to paint quite a bit. While of course I wish I was already better at brush painting I don't want to wait with every project until I am. Gotta work on it. I will upload some images for this project soon.

Currently I try to learn how to do glazing, sometimes it workes out fine, sometimes it does not. Getting the ratio of paint:glaze medium right, as well as the right application, to not use too much paint and drown the details. Airbrushing is easier but I don't want to spend hours masking so I gotta learn how to handle the brush.
Especially white is a tough nut, it needs a lot more layers, which I kind of expected. But I hope that in the end she will turn out fine.

Lately I've been working on so many 3d printed figures that I kind of yearn for some good old plastic model kits again.

Striking doomsday paintjob! 🙂

Thank you mates!
Made some progress on its base. Decided for a peaceful looking field with some flowers. I want to add some verticality, maybe some telephone pole or something. I am not sure yet.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
A few more images. The wooden base is still missing though...
Painting her eyes worked out much better than I expected, luckily there is enough space to draw them. There are other figures, roughly the same scale, that use realistic faces, instead of the stylized anime look.

Those eyes turned out well! 👍

Nicely done Grizzly tank! 😎

Mech Commander - one of my alltime favorit and the Raven was a nice fast recon. 👍
Like it!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks a lot mates! This little but simple diorama was a real experiment with the lava but I am quite happy with how it turned out.
I applied Tamiya Flat Red, Red, Orange and Yellow with a brush and then sprayed flat red onto the base to give it the look as if the Lava illuminates the surrounding area.
This is something I probably could have done on the Raven as well but I was a bit scared to screw the Mech up but even without that lighting it doesn't really look out of place, I think.

The Raven is one of my favourites as well but the Bushwacker is still number 1 for me. I built one in the past and might print a new one this year.
I ordered a bunch of ABS like resin which should make it possible to articulate the mechs like action figures. But what's more important it should stop breaking when I try to assemble the models. The UV Resin I used until now can be very brittle and is better used for static figures.

I might add a few little details to the Raven's base and will shoot additional photos in front of the background later. I ordered some spiky red brushes that might look nice on the base.

What's this?

Robin (WhiteGlint)
It's a 3d printed Claptrap from the Borderlands games. I noticed I didn't upload the newest pictures, because I added a bit of wash to the skull. Will upload a few more some time later. Once I managed to wrap up a number of projects I will do a bit of a "photo session" with several models in front of the black background.

For this figure of Black Swan, I am going to use the airbrush for a lot of painting steps, as her clothes and even her hair work with a lot of gradients.
Gradients seem so easy in theory but I guess I'll need a while to do the process right.

Now with other paint applied her skin tone doesn't seem right anymore, and I need to lighten it up again. Probably after I am done airbrushing. Layers of careful glazing should hopefully do the trick.

Watching with interest

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Welcome Capt! Continued with detail painting here. Still more to do, for example her eyes are not painted yet but I am getting somewhere.
I'll definitely have to attach the base she's sitting on to another wooden base to make sure it can't fall over.

Robert Podkoński
Great job, Robin! I have the same kit in my stash.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks a lot mates! Not much happened here lately as I try to finish the base. Then it's pretty much done. The chipping on the markings of the parking lot is quite heavy so I want to make it look a little nicer with some flowers. 🙂

Torsten

Finn
Really cool!

Dash Rendar
Nice little base!

Michael Papay
Nice... I have the action figure from kotobukiya, bought it 20 years ago. At first I thought your figure is one of them. But when there are 3D files I might build a second one like yours.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks Michael! Managed to work a bit more on the base. I think it's almost done, though I'd like to add some empty ammo cases to the base.
Creating the sign was not so easy, especially given that I cannot read the language so I tried my best at kanji. I tried to recreate one of the signs that were visible in the movie.
It should read something like: "Dissolve the diet. Disband the secret police/special forces."
