overall, putting together this kit was easy peasy, not even gonna comment on that. 

Here goes the character of (young) Rei Ayanami 

assembled and together with the MechatroWeGo 

 

 

 

 

After the first pass of white primer I realised that the surface needed to be washed better...  

 

while the eyes were supplied as a decal, I decided to paint them by hand. 

some putty to fill in some glaring gaps in the hair line 

body painted 

finished figure 

 

 

 

as these are areas that are quite evident, I decided to sand them off and remove the seam line as much as possible 

 

 

 

 

 

finished whole set 

Let's add a decent base (since I just got a fitting display case) 

primed with white styrofoam primer the base that I just carved with a toothpick and gave a basic texture with some aluminum foil ball  

created a container with styrene sheets 

surprised how much this was a snug fit 

now black primer on it to give depth 

dry-brushing with some white paint 

and seeing how it looks before moving forward 

I used some paper mask to colour some of the tiles a slightly different colour, using a highly diluted light blue in this case 

some final touches by lightly airbrushing some coats of yellowish-white colour and adding some sand in the cracks to give a bit of realism to it 

painting the trims black 

the stumps I added will allow the character to stay on their feet (literally) without falling when moving it around 

done 🙂
