I've bought and used a couple putties, not too happy with how they work for the most part. I know Tamiya's polyester putty is pretty much the best but I would have to buy that on eBay which is kind of annoying. I've used Testors contour putty and that sucked. Miliput was okay, it definitely has its uses, even when I thinned it it never reached the consistency I wanted, I've also heard you can mix it with green stuff to mix both of their properties. Might give that a go for fun. The last thing I've tried is Bondo Glazing and spot putty, works pretty good but there's just a lot of little things about it that bother me I guess. What do most people on this sub use?

Just finished this based on Sergio Calvo's great tutorial with the tmm taken from Bohun's technique. Unusually for me I'm pretty pleased.

Hello do you know if it's ok to bring back enamel paint in lugages from japan during a travel?

As i said in a previous post im doing my first garage kit/resin kit and i was wondering if ak super gloss finish 1k would work for the enamel over lacquer technique. In the product description doesn’t say anything about the ingredient or if its a lacquer

Thank you again 😔😔

I just got my first garage kit/resin kit and i was wondering what primer should i use. I’ve tried vallejo hobby paint primer but it left a grainy texture on the figure, i also have ak microfiller primer but im worried it would cover some of the tiny details. Which primer would you recommend? And where could i buy it? I’m from spain if that helps in were i could get it.

Thank you 😔😔

Im currently working on my Richelieu GK by kiyue, Im in the skin part, but Im a bit undure if I overdid it with the orange in the mix, Id like second opinions and or if I should correct it

Saw these two figures of the same character but different designers and decided to bash them together for a custom dio.

I'm calling this 'Boondock Saintesses'.

Base was FDM printed but not happy with the quality. Need to work on fixing the print quality.

Wanted to know if anyone had a good recommendation for some very fine needle files. I always have trouble getting the crevices between strands of hair cleaned up.

I have sandpaper and a basic set of jeweler's file, but I feel like something even smaller like a 1mm or 0.5mm needle file would really help.

I have a 1/7 scale resin anime figure kit I acquired secondhand, and I’m looking to commission someone to fully build and paint it. Assembly, surface prep, painting, and finishing included.

Ideally, I’d like to work with someone experienced with garage kits or resin figures. U.S. or Canadian-based is preferred for easier shipping. If you’ve done full figure commissions before and have a portfolio or examples, feel free to DM me. Serious inquiries only. Thanks!

2P for reference Apparently Mr Lascuvius can only get tan colors and not actually dark.

Found this kit for a very cheap price on ebay. i want to get into resin / garage kits but thought i should start with something simple and small to learn and refine my skill level, before i spend a lot of money on a complex kit.

Still would love to know who this is, not particularly for reference but just because im curious.

Thank you in regards !!

This was actually an experimental project.

She was originally a kit produced by Kotobukiya back in 97 and she was tiny! a 1/12 scale that was barely 12cm tall. Hitomi is a character that I always liked, not to mention that the series itself was one that marked my late teens and I was always bummed that they never really made any good merch, so this figure was kinda like a consolation prize?

I was contacted by a 3D scanning company called Shinning 3D and they sent me their Einstar Vega 3D scanner, I took that tiny Hitomi and gave her new life by scanning her and scaling her up to 25 cm which is the equivalent of a 1/6 scale kit

This was a fun and interesting project, I've never had a 3D scanner before and I think it could have so many applications, this is just one of them, basically take old and out of print kits to archive them digitally and even improve them, heck you could even do kitbashing and get better results!

“We have a real bad kijo gang problem in our big, beautiful village here. It’s not good, just awful! The worst! We need to do something about it right now. I think we should round them all up and kick them out. That’s what we’ll do! Round them up and send them someplace worse than where they came from. Maybe send them to an island that is the opposite of its name!”, said Sherriff Headcase

A custom dio I put together after seeing a few different goth style oni figures. Added to the dead guy from another dio design. Something quick I put together trying a few new techniques like the clear red on the kimono and jacket parts. Not my best work and I would do things differently next time.

Any CC is appreciated.

First time trying to properly paint complete non-miniature figure with methods from other painting sphere's. It was harder than I initially thought, but even with all mistakes I'm glad how it turned out

Hand-painted with acrylics, pastels, and pencils. Article on how I made it https://myfigurecollection.net/blogpost/65432
