IRIA - Alien hunter

[cptan]

Move aside Sigourney Weaver!! Here come IRIA, the Alien Hunter.

It's had been a while since I painted a figure. This is my latest painted 1/6 vinyl figure.

I donnot know much about the animation series or Movie of "IRIA". Pick up the story from the internet.

This is a 1/6 (stands about 12 inches tall) scale vinyl kit. Got this from some Thai seller in Evil-bay (ebay). Although I own an airbrush now but I'm not confident in using airbrush on figure. Hand painted everything with Humbrol oil, Tamiya Acrylics, and Vallejo Acrylics....

The details not bad for a vinyl figure. Gaining exoerience frommy last vinyl ED209, I've managed to overcome the skill of hot water rinse technics towards twisted vinyl parts. I've also added a chest plate using bondite (original kit with no chest armour)... Glue all parts with Supaglue. Painted the eyes with minimum makeup since she supposed to be some sort of soldier. She will be joining the coming May our local modelling club Sci Fi Group Build.

Critiques and comment feedback are welcome.

I think that the flesh tones are very well handled, overall a very nice piece.

Excellent

It's dead hard to get a females face right as you have too be extremely subtle. But yours is bang on.
Great all round and a stunning figure.

True, painting a man with battle scars, 5 o'clock shade willbe normal for us figure painters.... but a female face... too much shade will kill the face.

Thanks for ur comment.

That's cool and a nicely handled paint job. Maybe more highlites in the hair.

A good job, but i think that could be better if in the future You take the picture inside home and not outside: the sunlight isn't the best way for take pictures.
But I repeat... good job!

Hi Snake,

My skill in photography is not that good. Worst if taking picture indoor where U'll have to set up lighting.... Definitely out of my reach.
