So, finished.

However, my high hopes for this kit were sadly demolished by a number of factors. (A full list of factors as follows: me, and Testor’s Dullcote [also possibly me] )

Definitely could have worked the hair a little better here.

Tried to touch up some black with a Paint Marker… should have just re-coloured the eyes. Happened on both ghosts.

This was not a bad thing, but I used magnets to allow for removable skirt and changeable arms (for with and without umbrella holding action).

After switching out the umbrella/arm and removing skirt:

Also not a negative aspect. It’s not perfect, but I did like trying out the Mico Mask liquid mask for the shirt design. I was pretty nervous about painting it before deciding to give the liquid mask a try.

Victims of Testor’s Dullcote. LHS was out of Mr. Super Clear flat, and decided to revert back to Dullcote for the time being. Well, it essentially destroyed the paint finish (eyes look like clown make-up now.. ) of the acrylic, and even the micron pen ink.

I had to repaint over the skirt and shawl. Basically everything just started running and dripping down and down once the Dullcote hit it. Blegh.

I like the idea of the base, but it doesn’t QUITE look the way I thought it would. Originally I was going to try a dry-brush for the edges of the extruded symbols but I ****‘ed that up right quick. So, went with a slightly messier look. Now it looks a bit too messy, but I’m okay with it.

All in all, not AWFUL but certainly a lot for me to improve on.
