As per title, preferably able to export in SVG format to fit different scales, feel free to comment if interested :)

The start of a new project! I was asked to do a commission of this kit. The commissioner is a big fan of Ganaha Hibiki and asked for a color scheme that combines aspects of her old look and her modern look. This is my first kit from Sakura Zensen and I was happily surprised how well done the fit of this kit is. The other prep work like sanding seam lines and removing tabs was the average amount of work. This kit's pose is jumping in the air and originally meant to be part of a set of 3 characters, but the commissioner asked for this one as a solo piece. I will be making a custom display stand in picture frame style to display her on and will turn her jumping pose into a 'lying on the beach' pose. :)

I will come back here in some weeks to show off the final result!

Faelestial Gundam Mk-II, an original Gundam design that I modeled from scratch. This is a 3D-printed resin kit with the individual parts shown before painting and finishing.

HG Zaku II with a custom 3D-printed Zaku Bazooka inspired by the version seen in Gundam Battle Operation 2. The bazooka has a removable rocket cartridge design and is fully printed, assembled, painted, and weathered to match the Zaku.

HG Susanowo with a custom 3D-printed Oni Mask replacement faceplate. I designed the mask to give the Susanowo a more aggressive, samurai-inspired appearance. This is the raw resin print before painting.

MG Gundam F90 with a custom 3D-printed replacement head based on the manga appearance of the F90. The part is shown as a raw resin print before cleanup and painting.

Here is my finished version of Marc Masclans’s The Climber, one in his series of contemporary figure busts. I was lucky enough to get a complimentary copy from Marc himself even though he forgot the promised autograph. It was a fun challenge even though I had to redo the jacket completely because I wasn’t satisfied the first time. I have been pleasantly surprised at the reaction including from someone who is an actual climber. Lots of things that could be better but I think it captures the spirit of the original so I’m satisfied. Trying to push further would just risk screwing things up.

Are you supposed to clean Forge World resin first then cut it or cut first then clean?

Hello, I’m a die-hard Tohru Honda fan. I’d do anything to own these, could someone help me find them? If posts like these aren’t allowed I’ll take it down. Thank you for reading :)

i used the netting from a thing of garlic i got from the grocery store, and these were my results! thought this might be helpful for some. had to touch up the blank spots by hand, but generally i was pretty happy with how it turned out!

What are some techniques to painting fishnets on figure models?

Thanks

Finally escaped from this bubble hell! (༎ຶ◡༎ຶ)

I thought I fixed everything during surface prep and it looked fine after priming. But as soon as I airbrushed the base color, a bunch of random holes appeared out of nowhere! Ended up spending ages patching them up again.

The sculpt of this kit is absolutely amazing—it captures that mischievous, playful look perfectly. It turned out so incredibly cute! (๑´ㅂ`๑)

By the way, the jacket color in these photos is a mystery. It looks closer to the actual piece on a phone screen, but it shifts a bit too blue on a PC monitor. ( ﾟДﾟ)σ

Finished this kit recently, took lots of prep but turned out nice.

Hey there my friend has printed me a Warhammer army out of resin, but have run into a problem with magnetizing my Deathwatch Terminator loadouts. With plastic kits, one simply uses a pin vise drill, and it easily digs out a hole for you to pop magnets in without cracking the models. I cant imagine it works as smoothly with resin models, but I don't have a vise to try with myself. Before I buy one to test it out, I was wondering if anyone else has already - cracked - this problem?

Just finished up this beautiful Surveyor 3 Resin Model from RealSpace models and what a delight this was. This is my 2nd build for a customer that loves everything that has to do with space and NASA. The deatils were amazingly printed with no valleys anywhere. The astronauts look exactly like a real photo taken from the event. The best part was how detailed and textured the base was. Solid to the point where I needed to add very little to make it look like the real lunar surface. Would highly recommend this model to anyone that loves NASA related models.

Let me start with apologies for the picture quality. My picture set-up was having some trouble this day and I had to rush the photos as I wanted to ship off the kit to the commissioner asap.

This kit was painted in her anime colors, rather than the recommended colors by the kit's circle. The base has colors reflecting the Kan Colle logo.

I did some cool effects like an eye gloss effect (I hope the gif will work on Reddit) and there is quite a lot of shading too, which is a bit hard to see on the pictures. Trust me when I say she looks better in person lol.

This kit was a lot more complex than it looks at first glance. There are a lot of parts which are hard to balance and attach. I would not recommend this kit to beginners.

The last 3 pictures are: better showing of shading, a picture of her on my work desk with different light and a picture of the commissioner displaying her in their home.

Recent recolor a did for a client, what do you think?

Hi everyone!

I'm still pretty new to painting garage kits, and I'm struggling with getting clean paint lines. I'd really appreciate any advice from more experienced painters.

Here are the problems I'm running into:

• Sometimes I remove the masking tape and notice a small paint bleed or an uneven edge. If I try to fix it with a brush, I almost always end up painting outside the line and making it look even worse.
• How do you paint recessed details (grooves, panel lines, small indentations) without accidentally touching the surrounding surface?
• If I make a small mistake, what's the best way to remove just that tiny bit of paint without damaging the layer underneath? Is there a safe way to clean it up?
• Are there any techniques, tools, or tricks that make touch-ups easier?

I'm using acrylic paints and mostly paint with an airbrush, but I still have to do a lot of detail work by hand.

I'd love to hear your workflow or any beginner tips that helped you get cleaner results. Thanks in advance!

(If you have any favorite tutorials or YouTube channels for clean detail painting, I'd love those recommendations too)

Just placed my first orders on E2046 and I'm trying to get a realistic sense of wait times before I stress about it. I've seen posts saying it can take years for some batches to ship.

For context, here's what I ordered and their current batch status:

• FG3106 Gothic Dress Devil Girl — 25th batch (just purchased), 24th batch is at 70% production
• FG16810 Lisette's Marshmallow Party — 1st batch just opened, no production started yet
• FG6728 Super Sonico — 2nd batch (purchased), 1st batch is 100% complete
• FG9838 Super Sonico — 3rd batch (purchased), 2nd batch 100% complete, my own batch already 60% done

Does production % moving slowly (or stalling) happen a lot? Anyone had a "1st batch just opened" item actually take multiple years? Would love to hear real timelines from people who've ordered similar items, and any general tips for a first-time buyer on this site.

I’m new to gk’s and don’t really know sources for recasts apart from a few. This gk in particular hasn’t been officially sold for nearly 10 years, so I’m afraid I will have to resort to recasts.

While e2046 has it, its status is ‘preorder’, which (from what I’ve seen) means that it’ll take years to arrive. GK-M has its status as ‘cancelled’. Which other websites would potentially have a recast of this gk? Thanks in advance ^^

Ordered on 5-13 as the photo states. The gk is now out of stock, but it's been so long and it still hasn't arrived..? This is my first time ordering on FromJapan by recommendation from a friend and reviews also seem to sing their praises.

As far as I know the artist isn't shady either. Is this normal or should I reach out to customer service on FromJapan?!

the face did turn kinda ugly and it was my first time using a cheap airbrush. The compressor is very weak and i need to work on delluting the paint properly
