- Hello, all I have a large (approx. 1/12) scale epoxy resin
- figure that I have been building on and off for the past 2 years
- (the way the model is designed, filling and sanding is a real,
- bonafide *b*tch*). I am still rather new to figures, and was
- wondering how to go about painting the sucker.
-
- The figure has a lot of creases in its clothing
- and I can't see just painting it one color. I think that doing so
- would not give the proper "depth" to the clothing for it to look
- good. So, can anyone help me with some suggestions?
-
- For anyone who is interested, it is a garage-type model of
- Deunan Nut from the Japanese comic Appleseed. S'a really nice model
- with a lot of detail. I bought it in Japan and don't know if it's
- available in the U.S. Another feature of the model are a lot of
- mold flaws :-(.
-
- Cheers,
- Justin
