Phossy Phos

Hi, everyone!

Today I'll tell you about an E2046 kit I decided to paint because I wanted to make something quickly. This was last winter.

Although I finished her quite a while ago now (a couple of months back), the work proved anything but quick, and even involved some repainting

So, this is what we had to work with at the start. The original casting was partly in clear resin and partly in opaque resin—why is anyone's guess. The kit was supposed to include two opaque torsos, so where are they?

The clear resin had yellowed, naturally, but the miraculous Aqua from SMS saved the day.

Before and after.

Next come the clear colors, and then I back everything with white so it remains transparent only when light shines through it.

The result is simply the best, most delicious pair of legs

I move on to the head and run into a screw-up because I didn't think through how to mask the face properly… A wash around the edge.

Then I paint the first version of the eyes, look at it, turn it over in my hands…

…and drop it on the tiled floor, partly shattering the hair and knocking off the paint. Welp.

Attempt number two. And, unexpectedly, it is much better than the first.))

I also decided to pull out some paints that usually have nowhere useful to go, because this was finally their chance:

Time to start assembling the 3D puzzle:

Assembly wasn't easy, but I think I got her seated the way she should be.)

And here is the result of my labors (I took so long to paint her and wrote the post so quickly :’))

Details!

That's all! I hope you like little Phos :3

Have a lovely day, everyone!
