Resin
Kits
Resin kits
are an interesting art form - you buy a bunch of solid polyurethane
parts, clean them up, bond them together, smooth the seams, prime, and
paint - and hopefully you don't mess up (because they're expensive).
I like the
challenge of painting them - it's a nice change from digital art......

This
is a kit that I'm producing - I've taught myself the process
(from cleaning up the rapid prototype parts, to moldmaking and
casting the resin) - and I'm working on a book on how to take
CG art and make it into "physical" art. You can see
the model/image this is based on here,
and
you can see a larger version of this montage image here

This
is a kit by Mike James - but I painted it a bit differently
than he did. Translucency is a challenging effect (for the
costume material).

This
is the "same" kit, but I resculpted it fairly extensively.
The skin requires about 6 colors and 4-5 coats of varying density
to get good skin tones....

A
pseudo-anime kit - (my first kit, actually). I ended up painting
it twice since some too-sticky tape decided to take all the paint
off down to the primer (grrrrrrr). The second time around, the
paint looked a lot better - so I guess it was meant to be. I won
a kit-building competition on one of the kit-building sites with
it. |
