Nearly finished!!

Well it's finally drawing to a close, here's lots of pics of the story so far with and without cloak.






So the cloak has been a NIGHTMARE the whole project and this last few changes/fixes have been NO exception, not to mention all the extra hours sanding for surface imperfections!!!



I completely FORGOT that Shuichi's collar had tags on it, sigh . . . . sculpting some on, they are a bit rough but I got a new clay today that doesn't set and you can't stuff around with it too much or you'll lose details.




Also missing were the tags on the front of the cloak . . . realising you miss things is NOT fun.

Thank you all ^__^

@digitalomniscienteyes

The long term plan for this figure is to make it available to be purchased in kit form like garage kits usually are. Then you build and paint it yourself, which is a lot of fun and very rewarding ^__^

A kit of this size usually sells for anywhere between $25-$65US.

To commission someone to build & paint this sized figure runs between $150-$400, just depends on the details involved (e.g. shading or no shading, magnets if you wanted the cloak removable etc etc) and also depends on the modeller who you ending up choosing to do it for you. If you went down this track you'd still have to buy the actual kit itself at the aforementioned price ^__^
