Assassination! - Jaguar Models, 1/8

[tigrazor]

H'llo all,

after modeling and painting more or less smaller scales and "big" scale busts only, I really wanted to lay my hands on a large scale full figure some time. At the last expo near Dresden I landed a lucky shot and got me a rare 1/8 "Ninja" figure from Jaguar Models. It is 1/8 scale and really a great model. That girl looks maybe a bit too much "comic style" with her wasp taille and XXL jugs (am I allowed to say that?! ), but I dont care.

Her joints are enforced with brass tube - just to make sure her arme wont fall off once shes got some paint.

I think Ill paint her like AION-characters, quite similar to the "Iron Man" scheme (red with golden ornaments etc.).

Well, Alrighty, then! Her points look ok to me....

Welcome to the WIP Lyle.

Rooibos tea for the red leaves on the ground, and a spare 28mm gargoyle "on the rocks" were added. The skin parts are not yet finished, theres some more work to do here.

New skin tone for the lady (Belton rattle can). I tried to prime the jewel with Revell silver 90 and it turned out exactly what I was afraid of. I used to use Revell metallic tones in my teenage years quite often (because nothing else was alvailable besides Humbrol maybe) and it produced thin fibres in some cases - the very same here. Well... Gunze will be the better choice for the larger metallic parts then. But the positive thing is: The transparent red (Gunze) looks as good as it was supposed to!

YAY!

Red for the armory, green (glowing effect) and silver for the weapons. The lower blade needs some rework, but so far Im pretty happy with the result.

Aaaaand.... ACTION. Her right arm plates are ready, her body will follow (this can take a while i guess).

[tigrazor]

Metallic blue for her legs. The "Captain America look" will disappear once the transparent red is on, but it gives a bit more of depth to her legs.

Then the red color followed:







Wo-hoooo. Turned out better than I hoped/feared.

Silver accents for the armor:

Stunning work so far.
I feel i should do a figure sometime. What would you say is the hardest part?
