FFX-2 Shuyin Sculpt

In between projects I’ve begun playing with poly-clay again. Here was my Sat/Sun progress -about 6 hours work time- the subject is FFX-2 Shuyin, the main nightmare/enemy of the rather poor game. Honestly the only part of the game I likes was this character, even if he was a carbon copy of Tidus who in fact was a carbon copy of him. lol.

6hours, 4 bakes and a ton more hours to go I think it’s turning out rather well providing it is very rushed as usually sculptors take weeks/month just working out the basic form.

1/8 Kou Uraki Finished

Kou if finally done, a bit bumpy but, fun build. Not bad for my first finished figure in almost 10years!

Asuka Test Plug Suit…

With Uraki almost done and my state of the workbench in the air, not wanting to pull out everything until I knew it was put I grabbed another long put away neglected figure, in hopes of keeping up with the short builds. this time the lovely Asuka Shikiname (movie version.) This is e2046′s model version of the popular PVC figure. This also being the LAST recast I ever bought, before taking a vow to never purchase a recast again. So far I’ve stuck to that line made in 2009…

The kit is pretty clean with the only major issue being the I-beam part of the base. The i-Beam warped during casting and is about 2 inches off target of where her hand is (which is supposed to be resting on it.) Will be an interesting fix.

Uraki pilot wip.

And a couple hours later I added in the first round of highlights, they are still pretty blue looking so plenty more room to continue highlighting tomorrow

This is a rather old kit and the only figure kit that I built and kept over the years until my recent re-adventure into modeling. Though the years it has been dropped, damaged and even dirtied by not making sure my hands were clean before handling it, a lesson hard to learn. This kit was build in 2003 and finished in acrylic paints if I remember correctly. I wanted to test my black glass base for pictures and thought this would be a nice subject. As for the comments on fixing the figure… this kit is just under 10 years old and was never properly topcoated. In order to successfully repair the marks I’d need to completely repaint it as the white has yellowed/aged over the years.
