1/12scale Uruseiyatsura/Lum and Cherry
"Thief of bikinis"
The original picture is from comic vol.5 p101.
This is the 1st work substantially new made after over 10 years of blanks. I think that the face may be trend gentle, but not missed. Owing to the large scale, I think that the body shape is just I designed, almost perfect. Somebody may think that the lower limbs are short, but the balance might be collapsed if I made it same just like in comics.
About painting, I failed the white refuses (I imitated powder of salt) went a little excessive.
Although I made Cherry (I don't care it) only with drawing rough sketch without body designing, it end up soso level. It's a charm for wearing Geta to adjust the height. Incidentally I made deep engraving on the line of eyelids without groove painting. Usually groove painting or shadow coating isn't necessary if the form is made firmly.
The rough base seems indeed I didn't spend time for it. It may reduce the point of of this work. I'll try to bottom up the base when I'm in the mood for modifying.
As their turning out time to completion, Lum took 110 hours, and Cherry took 30 hours. When the light remodeling after completion, I changed the base color to bright and added Lum's eyelash by wire planting.
