[Fan Art] The 1/8 R. Dorothy Garage Kit Model

Alrighty guys I posted a picture of the finial one of this before in Big O Funny Pictures thread and got quite a few responises so I dug up all of my pictures of the making of it and put them all here. Enjoy.

First I sanded and trimmed off the extra plastic pieces.
Here is the entire model layed out, I really love this picture since you can see all the pieces and just the thought of Dorothy in pieces makes me think of Tony the Mechanic lol ^_~"


A few close ups of the face I was going for this fuzzy shadow look it just struck me as cool.



Here you can see the various pieces as I started to paint them.



I finially got the whole head, hair, collar and torso painted and glued together.



The legs and lower torso are glued and painted here:


Here is one arm painted and glued.


Along with the second arm next.


Then I glued the upper body and the lower body together.


Here is the finial version done with the skirt on. (You can have the skirt either be on or off.)


And here is one of her with out the skirt with my silly message to Tony for April Fool's Day.


This was a great model and I think it came out really nicely too I would defently recommend it as a Garage Kit to do!

it's abo time that kit got some recognition
it looks like you had a bubble in the top of the lower torso too
so did me, and zola
i was able to patch it with some putty pretty well

i sanded, and patched my dorothy, but i needed to do some more with her before i could start working on her

i'll post pictures when i get to painting and all
i'm thikning about maybe constructing a base that looks like part of big o's cockpit
might get too complicated though
we'll see
thanks for the pictures though

Yeah thats right tehre is that bubble in the torso defently a defect in the casting I beleive, I'll have to get my hands on some of that putty thanks so much! ^_^" Oh and good luck on creating a cock pit for yours thats awesome!

-Beth

the putty shouldn't be terribly hard to find
i used squadron white
it also comes in green
which means you'll have to paint that part
i got it at a hobby store
wal-mart might have some testors filler putty
some bondo car putty might actually work, but i'd be careful
but with some careful sandign and all, you can barely tell i had bubbles, it jsut looks like there is a different color resin
