magenta sculpt in progress

[PhilinYuma]

Very cool Sonny! RayToh is Torei, right? I didn't even know that he had fully developed this character! Can you give us a link? Thanks!

 

[orange3D]

Yup, that's Ray. How do you know him?
He only did a sketch for this character. Original sketch can be seen here:

It was in response to images of a mech I was building:

I'm developing her further and hoping Ray can add some more when he is not too busy.

After some time, I've good and bad news. Bad news first:

now good news:

and some surprise:

Next step will to build up the figure, I'll start a new thread in a relevant part of the forum for the build as soon as I can.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments and hope you continue to enjoy the progress.

Wow, fantastic figure! Thanks for showing the progress pics.

I've only ever tried the basic Sculpey, but I've picked up Aves A&B, to see how that works. Baking the Sculpey is a little inconvenient, I'd rather have an air-cured putty.

I guess the scale you're build to would be a little off to fit in with the Maschinen Krieger series, wouldn't it? Of course, there's an opportunity--scrtachbuild some mecha to go with her...

Prost!

Thanks Brad, funny you should mention Machinen Krieger. Hehe, the original intention was for magenta to be the same scale as Ma. K. = 1/20; however her final sculpt seems as you say a little bit off (too small). I'll post some comparison pics in the new thread I will start for her assembly and let you decide if she's up to scale or not.
As for the mech, well, if you check my blog, one of the really early post is of a mech that started it all. That mech is in 1/6 scale, but yeah, she will have a mech at some point, can't say when though

 

[orange3D]

Here's the built up kit. She's still missing a few photo-etch parts before she's done. I've done an oil paint wash to show up the details. Gonna build another one with a proper paint job later on.

 

[orange3D]

Here she is with her full complement of photoetch parts and wiring.

Also the height comparison with Ma.K. figures as promised.

There's also an interview about her at my friend's blog

Hope you enjoyed this.
