So last night I finished my Luluce model kit. I went back to the Sanyodo Bookstore I posted about in the previous post and bought optional hair and body parts to give her black pigtails and sexy tits. Luluce comes with a nice ponytail, but her hair is like a dark gray and I prefer black. I think I’ll paint the ponytail hair parts with Mr. Hobby Lascius black hair color. I might paint the pigtail parts to match.
I’m on vacation at the in-laws’ place this week. Here I have a modeling table with various modeling supplies I keep here to work on models whenever we stay here. What I need to do is pop the parts apart and sand down the gates better. When I get home, I plan to do a flat coat on the flesh parts. I can use a Faber Castel pencil to do some shading on her butt cheeks and underboobs, then give it another flat coat to seal it in. I think I’ll also do a wash of Tamiya panel line accent color on her hair to give it more life, then do a flat coat on that too. Maybe do a semigloss finish on her outfit.
After sanding work, I may need to use some plastic polish to smooth it, or just very high grit sanding sponges. After a clear coat, it should provide a painted look.
