More progress, I've done up the staff and all she needs are the photo-etch bits.

Ah, I sat down and did this in one sitting. To be honest, I haven't built a resin kit for quite some time now. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the resin my friend used. It's easy to saw, carve, sand and drill. The feel is quite similar to working with model kit plastic. Because of this I was able to build up to this point in one sitting. Happiness...

A bit of a surprise for all you detail freaks (myself included) who's following the development of this figure kit. If the pic is not enough of a clue, Magenta's kit will come with photo-etch parts! Have a look see at all the details in the preview pic of this lovely piece of metal.

Bad news, the master for Magenta's body has suffered some seemingly irreparable damage...but wait, with every bad news comes some good news.

I wrapped up the sculpting of the masters last week. The past few days have been busy with looking for local resin caster and so far no luck.

Spent the whole day working on the data staff today and managed to get it to 90%.

Magenta (accessories)

Fun but tedious, spent the past couple of days to come up with Magenta's gear

Magenta Sculpt (uh oh)

Since this sculpt is planned as a kit, I sculpted the arms separately. The danger with this is that you can't see the overall shape of the figure and you might be heading in the wrong direction as I found out.

Magenta (boots)

After a sculpting surge this weekend resulted in the completion of the boots.

Magenta (arm sculpt C)

Arms finished for now...

Magenta (arm sculpt B)

Time to dive in , there's no avoiding it. I've labeled the steps on the image.

Magenta (arm sculpt A)

So not totally convinced on what I should do with the boots, I proceeded to sculpt the arms.
The photo shows the steps.
