And a little later in the evening..
A little update. Ok, first I got a little over zealous with removing the bloody pinholes.... so I had to fix that mistake with some epoxy putty.. But, the weekend was fairly productive: Still got some more work, but it's getting close....

For the red, it's a three step process. Gloss black using Finisher's Paint (japanese brand of lacquer paints that dry REALLY fast - formulated for car model builders), Alclad II Chrome over the glossy black, then Mr Color Clear Red on top of the chrome.

It's interesting the context surrounding the clip. Makes me wonder how many other youtube videos are misconstrued due to the lack of context for various clips.

How did you handle the ends of the stockings? Did you tuck them into the hip joint? How about the foot end? And did you use anything like glue to hold them in position? And any tips on doing the eyes? I've got the kit as well, but I'm going to save it until I build up a bit of experience first. |

The other end was the pain in the rear part. I ended up thinning some elmer's white glue with a small amount of water and painted on the glue solution onto the stocking/leg assembly. Since the glue dries clear it works quite well. I just liberally applied the solution all over the leg, the let it completely dry. Once dry, I use a brand new blade for my hobby knife and traced around the shoe/foot seam to remove the excess. The glue keeps the stockings in place on the kit so the sharp knife does all the work. A lot of patience is needed. I went through a whole bunch of stocking sets. As for the eyes. I painted the white with a lacquer based paint, then clear coated them with a lacquer based clear gloss. Once dried, I used a pencil to draw out the eyes, if I made a mistake, I just erased the pencil marks and redrew them until I was satisfied. Then I painted the eyes using enamel paints. Having the lacquer base, if I made a mistake, I can clean up the paint using enamel thinner and it won't remove the white layer of paint. Sorta like erasing a mistake and starting with a new white eye. Not much to it, just do a google image search for "haruhi suzumiya" and get a picture for reference and run with it. That's how I did it I'm glad the tutorial was helpful. I actually added information about the stocking + glue, but since my webhost was having problems early this morning, I was not able to update my page.

Yes, it was very helpful, thanks for them. Hrm, though my questions are probably OT for this thread so maybe we should move to PM's. |

The fabric I used I picked up from here: http://www.pumpers.com/arquan/arcart...ProductID=3238
I bought 1 yd of the stuff. Probably going to get some more, the stuff rocks. Yes, I used a 5/0 brush to do the eyes. The white and clear coat was airbrushed on.

Though the black outfit Haruhi is more "canon" ... that glossy red outfit is *really* sharp looking (and makes her look more like the devilish bunny she can be ).
