YAYY!!!

I KNEW she would! (because MY girlfriend usually does the SAME thing!)
God, I LOVE a good romantic story! Well done!!!!

Oh yeah. Now that's how you get pinkeye.

That's a nice build up. If that's only your third figure, don't worry, you're well ahead of the curve.

At first glance, this looks likes porceline. Excellent work on the dress. I'm not an anime fan and that style of painting is not what I'm used to , buut it looks like you've achieved your goal.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Thanks guys. Everyone who has seen it says about the same. And they all say she will love it. Still a bit nervous though. We do our V-day on Wednesday due to my job [I'm on duty on Valentines day thanks to the CPL.] so I'll make sure to let y'all know how she likes it. they say its the thought that counts, and if thats true...this one should be the ultimate gift.

That is VERY cute, and a sweet gesture for your lucky girl! I'm sure she'll love it, and even more so, the very thought of it!

I build several horse-themed models every Christmas for my girlfriend, and she has a collection already that required a display case this year!

I picked this up off eBay a while ago. Its from some Anime show, but I dont know which. I made this for my fiance for Valentine's Day [originally it was for X-mas]. Its a bit smaller than 1/6, probably soomewhere around 1/10th? It is entirely airbrushed, except for the details on the face and the jewelry. The base is a piece of driftwood. its finished almost compeltely with Tamiya acrylics [jewelry is floquil bright gold]. the wings were the biggest challenge, but I am very pleased with how they came out. now I just hope the fiance likes it.
