Here is the 1/8 Figurerise Son Goku kit. I got this kit around May or June and just got it done on Tuesday.
It took me a long time since I don't get to work on it everyday, plus I'm still new to model building, so everything took extra long time. Well, it's done now so I'm happy!
I learned a lot from building this kit. It's very different from building Gundam or other scale models I have worked on before. There were seams that took me a long time to fill and smooth out and also I had to plan ahead so I know what parts I could glue first and what parts I had to wait after I painted them.
I've also learned how to do some pre-shading and post-shading with my airbrush, which really made the model look a lot better!
Apply decal on this figure was tough. It had really curving contour so the decal doesn't set well at all. I had to do the best I can and hoping the Mr. Mark Softer will some how make it conform to the surface.
Picture time! Sorry for not having any work in process photos... I'll try to take some next time. Comments are welcome! =)
I do have program with paint chipping/scratches. I did apply clear coat to protect my paint before I do my decal and then flat coat again to seal, but when I try to move and pose the figure, I had lots of scratches. How do I avoid that? please let me know!!
