<span style="font-size: small;">Erza's my favorite character in the anime Fairy Tail. She has the ability to switch armors, with their own strengths, weaknesses and properties. This is one of her "armors" or combat attire. I converted her from a Kanu Unchou "miko" garage kit. I did my best in trying to render her as close as the original character design but alas, there's only so much you can do with the actual sculpt. I'm still happy with how she turned out :)</span></div>

<p>She's not the best rendition of the character but I did give my best effort to make her. Feel free to offer suggestions and recommendations to help me improve my work. Thanks for looking!</p>

I want to make this <a href="http://myfigurecollection.net/item/31875_saki_haramura_nodoka_1_6_cerberus_project#">kit</a> look like Mami Tomoe of Magi Puella Madoka Magica. There's a lot of putty work but I am glad that she's slowly taking the shape as I wanted. She's also why I was asking around how to create muskets/ rifles from scratch. It was a rush job but I managed to finish her on the same day she's going to be displayed. I updated this main post with all the things I've done with the kit so far. I will divide the project in four parts for easier tracking and explanation.</p>
<p><img src="http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/493/konachancom95905sample.jpg" alt="konachancom95905sample.jpg" /><br />
<span style="color: #0000FF;">Main Figure</span></span></p>
First off, I needed a base figure. I scoured the on-stock items of the site I usually order from and this particular kit captured my attention instantly. The pose, the uniform and the penguin immediately gave me the idea on how Mami will probably look like.
I am not familiar with the character but according to <a href="http://myfigurecollection.net/item/31875_saki_haramura_nodoka_1_6_cerberus_project">MFC</a>, she's Haramura Nodoka from the anime <a href="http://myanimelist.net/anime/5671/Saki">Saki</a>.
<img src="http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/6149/sam2708.jpg" alt="sam2708.jpg" /></p>
<p>Next, I needed a hat. I got a perfect hat for her from one of my trading figures. Also, if you noticed, her pigtails are a bit more thicker than the next images. I needed to trim it down to make it as close as the original character design.</p>
<p><img src="http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2108/sam2721.jpg" alt="sam2721.jpg" /></p>
<p>Next, I filled her v-neck with some putty and tried attaching a collar from one of other kit's spare parts. I originally planned to use the tie in the image but I opted to use a ribbon instead.</p>
<p><img src="http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/9827/sam2725.jpg" alt="sam2725.jpg" /></p>
<p>Next, using a mini-grinder, I scratched off some part of the uniform in her arm part to make way for some "skin" underneath. I also need to use putty to shape up the edges.</p>
<p><img src="http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/4634/sam2726.jpg" alt="sam2726.jpg" /></p>
<p>Next, I spread a thin layer of putty on her legs and shaped it as her high boots.</p>
<p><img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7002/sam2727.jpg" alt="sam2727.jpg" /></p>
<p>The shape of her uniform isn't smooth and it doesn't really show her curves so I have to slice some of the lower parts and apply putty as well to shape it up. This process will take several days since I need to sand, prime and re-apply the putty to get a strong, smooth layer around the sliced parts. I've done this also by keeping the lower half of her body attached so I can follow her waist's curves. I used petroleum jelly on the lower half to prevent any putty from sticking on it permanently.</p>
<p><img src="http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/8928/sam2720n.jpg" alt="sam2720n.jpg" /></p>
<p>Then, I placed a line of putty in the middle to form the shape of a part of Mami's costume.</p>
<p><img src="http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/9042/sam2729c.jpg" alt="sam2729c.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/1443/sam2730h.jpg" alt="sam2730h.jpg" /></p>
<p>For the ribbons, I've used the ribbons that were part of Ori's Asuka kit since I haven't finished her. I bended the ribbons freely by softening them up with a heat gun. <br />
<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3445/3260753763_54c9d32fb9.jpg" alt="3260753763_54c9d32fb9.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/6343/sam2731.jpg" alt="sam2731.jpg" /></p>
<p><img src="http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/8585/sam2732n.jpg" alt="sam2732n.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/6802/sam2734.jpg" alt="sam2734.jpg" /></p>
<p>The photos below will show the progression of the kit as its been painted. I have to repaint a few spots since they got wrinkled during the masking process. Blu Tack really helped a lot in the masking process as well.</p>
<p><img src="http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7563/sam2769.jpg" alt="sam2769.jpg" /><br />

<img src="http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/4956/sam2810.jpg" alt="sam2810.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/104/sam2824o.jpg" alt="sam2824o.jpg" /></p>
The "feather" on her hat was not plucked from some unlucky fowl so rest assured that no animals were hurt when making this project. I luckily found a cellphone accessory that has this feather so I bought the whole damn thing for this tiny feather.
<img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/534/sam2826e.jpg" alt="sam2826eo.jpg" />
Finally, I tried making her eyes more transparent to make them resemble that of the anime but it looked creepy in the end so I just decided to go with darker colors.
<img src="http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8706/sam2828b.jpg" alt="sam2828b.jpg" />
<span style="color: #0000FF;">Charlotte</span></span><br />
Charlotte is the witch Mami faced in EP 3 of the anime. It didn't end up well for Mami so I want to immortalize a different scenario by making her subject helplessly to our heroine's arms. <br />
<img src="http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/8499/16133221m.gif" alt="16133221m.gif" /></p>
<p>So to start off, I smoothed the penguin piece that came along with the original kit, then test fitted it. <br />
<img src="http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1340/sam2735o.jpg" alt="sam2735o.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/3450/sam2795.jpg" alt="sam2795.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/3007/sam2802x.jpg" alt="sam2802x.jpg" /></p>
<p>Next, I needed some extra pieces for the ears and body. That's when I selected one of my older bootleg trading figures to play as the sacrificial lamb. Behold, Aizen of the anime Bleach.</p>
<p><img src="http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/553/sam2796.jpg" alt="sam2796.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/3346/sam2803.jpg" alt="sam2803.jpg" /></p>
<p>So after mutilating the bastard, his bum and baggy yukata became Charlotte's body while his sleeves became her ears. It will take more puttying to shape them up. Since Mami will be holding Charlotte, I deliberately positioned her right ear to bend to the back.</p>
<p><img src="http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/549/sam2804.jpg" alt="sam2804.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/7562/sam2986.jpg" alt="sam2986.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/3229/sam2992.jpg" alt="sam2992.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/7864/sam2993.jpg" alt="sam2993.jpg" /></p>
<span style="color: #0000FF;">Muskets</span></span><br />
These are pretty complicated if you'll follow the original design. Due to time and material constraints, I just opted for a much simpler design. The final models have missing triggers and aiming sights on the muzzles.</p>
<p>First I downloaded some musket designs and printed the actual size in paper. Next, I procured the base materials: microwavable containers. These are the same ones that E2046 use to ship smaller figures and kits.</p>
<p><img src="http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/3518/sam2818z.jpg" alt="sam2818z.jpg" /></p>
<p>I cut a small sheet first then traced the design on it. Using my hobby knife, I carefully cut through the plastic to form the gun's shape.</p>
<p><img src="http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/2492/sam2817.jpg" alt="sam2817.jpg" /></p>
<p>Basically, it takes 3 layers to get the favorable thickness that will fit my 1/8 Mami. I used some instant glue and sandwiched the three layers together. It will be preferable if you use the same clips I've used in the image since they fit perfectly and hold the layers securely.</p>
<p><img src="http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/9910/sam2820k.jpg" alt="sam2820k.jpg" /></p>
<p>After the layers have dried, You need to apply a good layer of putty to hide the cracks and smoothen the sandwiched edges. I've sanded the edges then used empty ballpen ink tubes as muzzles. I also used a small iron wire to serve as the watchamacallit-thingy under the muzzle (sorry, I'm not really familiar with gun parts that much).</p>
<p><img src="http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4468/sam2822.jpg" alt="sam2822.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/6182/sam2985h.jpg" alt="sam2985h.jpg" /></p>
<span style="color: #0000FF;">Base</span></span><br />
I used some insulating foam from refrigerator walls, a CD case, some masonry putty and plaster of paris to create the base.</p>
<p><img src="http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/3310/sam2710.jpg" alt="sam2710.jpg" /></p>
<p>I wanted to make it float so I acquired one of the older bases from one my trading figures (again)</p>
<p><img src="http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5311/sam2805.jpg" alt="sam2805.jpg" /></p>
<p><img src="http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8543/sam2811.jpg" alt="sam2811.jpg" /></p>
<p><img src="http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/1599/sam2812.jpg" alt="sam2812.jpg" /></p>
<p>Once the putty is semi-dry, I started making chessboard patterns on the floor. When it is almost dry, I started adding floor damage by chipping some dried parts and making cracks. After drying, I've sanded it and painted it.</p>
<p><img src="http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/3349/sam2816.jpg" alt="sam2816.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/6889/sam2821f.jpg" alt="sam2821f.jpg" /></p>
<span style="color: #0000FF;">The Finished Product</span></span><br />
Again this was a rush job so I wasn't able to document everything. She's not the best rendition of the character but I'm really happy with how she turned out.</p>

I only managed to take some apron-less shots. It was a pain to glue her apron after all. There are some inconsistencies with her apron since the cast was a bit brittle. I was afraid I'll do more damage trying to remove them and I think I'll ruin the overall look if I try to putty it.</span></p><p style="font-family: courier new;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Also, she's one of my all-time favorite anime chicks so this was an instant buy for me.

Fest 2011 - Day 2I wasn't able to go on Day 1 since I have work that day. Day 2 featured more cosplayers, visitors and a busy day ahead. It was my first major convention where my garage kits are exhibited along with other anime figures so I was really happy when people flock and take pictures of my work. I'm hoping to actively participate in any major conventions like this from hereon!<br /><br /><p><a href="http://img717.imageshack.us/i/sam0333h.jpg/"><img src="http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/856/sam0333h.th.jpg" alt="sam0333h.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img812.imageshack.us/i/sam0341f.jpg/"><img src="http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/5539/sam0341f.th.jpg" alt="sam0341f.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img857.imageshack.us/i/sam0343.jpg/"><img src="http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/9440/sam0343.th.jpg" alt="sam0343.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img14.imageshack.us/i/sam0339t.jpg/"><img src="http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/2690/sam0339t.th.jpg" alt="sam0339t.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img825.imageshack.us/i/sam0338r.jpg/"><img src="http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/2118/sam0338r.th.jpg" alt="sam0338r.th.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://img853.imageshack.us/i/sam0336.jpg/"><img src="http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/4893/sam0336.th.jpg" alt="sam0336.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img845.imageshack.us/i/sam0335a.jpg/"><img src="http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/6691/sam0335a.th.jpg" alt="sam0335a.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img4.imageshack.us/i/sam0334l.jpg/"><img src="http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3226/sam0334l.th.jpg" alt="sam0334l.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img163.imageshack.us/i/sam0346k.jpg/"><img src="http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/2984/sam0346k.th.jpg" alt="sam0346k.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img30.imageshack.us/i/sam0349g.jpg/"><img src="http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/1594/sam0349g.th.jpg" alt="sam0349g.th.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://img860.imageshack.us/i/sam0351.jpg/"><img src="http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/8100/sam0351.th.jpg" alt="sam0351.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img88.imageshack.us/i/sam0352o.jpg/"><img src="http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/5431/sam0352o.th.jpg" alt="sam0352o.th.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://img852.imageshack.us/i/sam0364.jpg/"><img src="http://img852.imageshack.us/img852/8580/sam0364.th.jpg" alt="sam0364.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img577.imageshack.us/i/sam0377m.jpg/"><img src="http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/2425/sam0377m.th.jpg" alt="sam0377m.th.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://img200.imageshack.us/i/sam0366g.jpg/"><img src="http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/7436/sam0366g.th.jpg" alt="sam0366g.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img707.imageshack.us/i/sam0365t.jpg/"><img src="http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/6731/sam0365t.th.jpg" alt="sam0365t.th.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://img863.imageshack.us/i/sam0381.jpg/"><img src="http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/6338/sam0381.th.jpg" alt="sam0381.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img703.imageshack.us/i/sam0382q.jpg/"><img src="http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/1434/sam0382q.th.jpg" alt="sam0382q.th.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://img200.imageshack.us/i/sam0410.jpg/"><img src="http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/7628/sam0410.th.jpg" alt="sam0410.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img843.imageshack.us/i/sam0427m.jpg/"><img src="http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/1754/sam0427m.th.jpg" alt="sam0427m.th.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://img232.imageshack.us/i/sam0405y.jpg/"><img src="http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/700/sam0405y.th.jpg" alt="sam0405y.th.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img16.imageshack.us/i/sam0354z.jpg/"><img src="http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7159/sam0354z.th.jpg" alt="sam0354z.th.jpg" /></a></p>vhaystehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05597684197053643647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003285009372693202.post-57675544377108268072011-03-31T12:37:00.000-07:002011-03-31T12:39:57.138-07:00New additions - March 2011<p>I've been lazy for the last month so I just had a pictorial session for my recently acquired figures.

Her costume in the reference pic is a bit too maroon, so I just followed the original red-orange color scheme as seen in the illustrations I found online. I also attempted to produce a candy tone for that color but alas, all the local suppliers doesn't have Tamiya Clear Red so I mixed Clear Orange with an ordinary Red. The results are found below.</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/5227/picture1904.jpg" alt="picture1904.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6348/picture1905.jpg" alt="picture1905.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/376/picture1906.jpg" alt="picture1906.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p>The first time I painted her legs, the shades are not recognizable so I repainted her using Tamiya Flat Flesh, then overlayed it with a custom mix of 8.5 parts white and 1.5 parts Flat Flesh. AB was set to low so I can control the pressure.</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/7494/picture1908.jpg" alt="picture1908.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/4272/picture1909.jpg" alt="picture1909.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p>My favorite enamel paint, Tamiya Gold Leaf, is used for the fine details in the kit. I love how easy it is to apply and how vibrant it is, like real gold.</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/7292/picture1923.jpg" alt="picture1923.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p>Body is almost done. The transparent skirt is a pain in the butt in so many ways. Some of the parts have gaps where you need to fill them with putty. I should have used Clear Epoxy but its really hard to keep the parts together, considering the brand of the epoxy I'm using takes about 3 minutes to adhere.</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/2980/picture1910.jpg" alt="picture1910.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/373/picture1924r.jpg" alt="picture1924r.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/1713/picture1925.jpg" alt="picture1925.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9746/picture1926.jpg" alt="picture1926.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/2803/picture1927.jpg" alt="picture1927.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/391/picture1928.jpg" alt="picture1928.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/2535/picture1929.jpg" alt="picture1929.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/3116/picture1930.jpg" alt="picture1930.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p>As for the face, I am quite contented with how the way she turned out. The lines may be a little rough in close up but in normal view, you barely notice them at all.</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/1725/picture1933.jpg" alt="picture1933.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/3243/picture1934.jpg" alt="picture1934.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/4606/picture1935.jpg" alt="picture1935.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p><span style="color: #FF0040;">Update: 12/28/10</span><br /><br />About 98% complete. I still need to do some touch ups with the gold linings in the skirt and make some minor repainting with other parts. Her ribbon and some clips in her blouse are still not attached. The skirt has some broken parts since it was dropped twice while I was hanging it to dry. The lost transparent parts can't be found anymore :\</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/3243/picture1934.jpg" alt="picture1934.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1725/picture1933.jpg" alt="picture1933.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/1753/picture1932.jpg" alt="picture1932.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/4667/picture1931.jpg" alt="picture1931.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/2163/picture1937.jpg" alt="picture1937.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/4606/picture1935.jpg" alt="picture1935.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p><span style="color: #FF0040;">Update: 12/30/10</span><br /><br />Finally finished her!

I had some leftover cat decals from the PJ's so I just applied them to the base as well.

I would really appreciate additional tips and suggestions so I can further enhance my skills for this wonderful hobby. I just skipped taking pics of the basic steps (cleaning, assembly, puttying) since almost all of us here are already proficient with those steps at least.</p><br /><br /><p>This is my compact workstation. Our house is small so I can't keep a dedicated workshop where you can just leave everything around. I setup, work then clean up afterward.</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/2586/picture1514.jpg" alt="picture1514.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/3523/picture1515.jpg" alt="picture1515.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p>I messed up with the body armor's paint so I have no choice but to remove the paint by giving it a thinner wash. The problem is that the lacquer thinner I've used is somewhat too strong that it "softened" the resin and chipped a part of the armor (see the crack in the lower left corner). But then again, maybe I've used too much pressure as well.</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6919/picture1516.jpg" alt="picture1516.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p>For the shiny armor finish, I've used Bosny's Chrome lacquer spray paint. The sole reason is that I don't know how to mix paints to achieve the stainless steel smooth finish, as well as the chrome shine. I've tried using Tamiya's Gun-Metal and Chrome colors and somehow they didn't meet my expectations.</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/9957/picture1521.jpg" alt="picture1521.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p>The problem with this chrome spray paint is that you can't apply a protective layer to it using clear or flat clear paints since it will take away the shine and will just leave you with a dull gray finish. Another problem is that when you press on the painted part too hard, you will leave fingerprints.</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/999/picture1517.jpg" alt="picture1517.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/9978/picture1519.jpg" alt="picture1519.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p>The eye-decal that came along with the kit was a life-saver. I can't imagine painting those lovely eyes myself. I daresay, the eyes carry a figure's elegance and "aura".</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9308/picture1530.jpg" alt="picture1530.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/9500/picture1520.jpg" alt="picture1520.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p>Thanks to the other WIPs I've seen here in the forums I've decided to give non-paint shading a try. I've used chalk pastels from our local art shop since they can be easily cleaned with water and cotton buds if you messed up. To preserve the shading, I usually add a layer of clear or flat clear depending on the surface.</p><br /><br /><p><img src="http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/6082/picture1522.jpg" alt="picture1522.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/8219/picture1523.jpg" alt="picture1523.jpg" /></p><br /><br /><p>I wanted to follow the kit's original color scheme but I was unable to find the right color so I mixed a bit of blue and purple for the cloth parts of the kit. Also, I colored the fine lines as gold instead of white, contrary to the original color scheme.
