Anime figure question.

  Ok Im done with the shoes for the most part there all airbrushed and will wash I think a little..  Once again not perfect like i had hoped but good enough...  All thats left is her tail and she done...  But next girl is having some fit issues Im not happy about and there in a spot thats going to be tough i think to fix....  and I really cant post pictures of the area..  What type of puttys do you fellows use??  I should say what two part puttys do you use.

Funky shoes, looks good from where I am

Tamiya epoxy putty and their regular has newer failed me 

If it's from a manga buy the manga or look it upp on mangafox. If it's from a Anime buy the movie/series or google pictures. Otherwise look at other similar characters like Ishigo from Toky Mew Mew or something.

You must show the complete fig. that's an order

Another way to do eyes is to use decals. Archer makes some eye decals called EZ Eyes. I haven't tried them yet but I have heard good things and plan to try them out some time. Here's a couple of links for them.

They sell different sizes and they have both realistic eyes and anime eyes. One thing I have read about them is that you will want to use a size just a bit bigger than your model and cut the top and bottom of the eye off so it will fit, otherwise your figure might already look surprised.

Just found these, these might be another option.

Hopes this helps.

Its one idea

Quite true you can use those, but it doesnt give you that same sense of satisfaction

  Ill bookmark those sites...  they do look like a way to make things easier..  Im still looking for her and i did find a picture but blowing it up makes it hard to see them..  will keep you posted...

Do any of you guys know where i can get stocking material ??

Swallow your pride, go to WalMart or some other store, and buy a pair of panty hose.  Or get your girlfriend, wife or other woman in your life to do it for you.

I like Anime girls, they have such big....eyes....

I was looking more for the fish net stocking....    I have no problem buying the other stuff but is it to scale?? 

  and they do have big eyes....

I know, just teasing!

For fishnet material, try either a fabric store, or maybe a gift card store (like Hallmark).  The material you want, that would work in the larger anime GK scales, is called tuille, I think.  It's the same stuff or similar to the stuff that veils are made of.  A fabric store should have some on hand, and a place that sells gift wrapping might also have it, for making bows or ribbons on packages.  In fact, I think I salvaged a piece from a present someone gave me one year at Christmas.

I also recall having seen an SBS, or a post within an SBS, somewhere on the Net, maybe at Cody Kwok's site.  I think maybe it was he who talked about experimenting with material to represent stockings.  If I'm remembering correctly, he tried it but abandoned it, but I don't think he indicated that you couldn't try it.

Hope that helps!
