Very nice as always Al but I too noticed her left bustline. You sure do some nice painting and I hope that she'll be ok 'cause she sure is a doll! Kiss

Thanks,
Kevin Keefe

I don't know how you did the paint work, but I'm thinking.........

The body is painted and detailed first, then all but the gown gets masked, and several very thin coats of the gown color are sprayed until the semitransparentness of the material is reproduced. Then, the folds, and multiple layers of fabric, can be gradually darkened to the final colors.

Yeah, it is a very small figure to achieve those results on. What you have there looks really good.

Lead me not into temptation ..................I can find it myself

Studio McVey beauty and the Bot
Posted by ajlafleche on Thursday, February 17, 2011 10:13 AM

Here is Studio McVey’s resin kit “Beauty and the Bot.” It’s a little larger than 1/48 and comes in about 7 parts. When I first saw this, I was reminded of all those 1950’s comic books and movie posters I grew up with.

I tried several times to get a translucent look tot eh woman’s gown, but was not happy with the results., I chose a purple with blues for shadows and highlights to coordinate with the cooler colors of the robot. It is painted in Vallejo acrylics and ModelMaster Metalizers.

The base was custom made by John Jeffries of Long Island.
