Jessica Jones - Jewel statue. She's made from a Femme Fatales Invincible's Atom Eve statue. Ok. Sigh. This one is a mess. It's my first customization of a PVC Statue, and it shows in almost every facet. I made a mess of it from the very get go. I made the grievous error of trying to strip the paint with acetone, like the resin pieces I had done already. That nearly caused me an aneurism as it started to melt. So, yeah, learned my lesson there. I also then tried Tamiya putty on this one for the first time, which was awful to work with. I didn't realize it would dry almost instantly, nor that it would destroy a silicone brush/colour shaper. It also didn't fill the lines on her costume quite like I had hoped, but it looked like it had in the sanding stage, so it wasn't until I started painted that I realized they were still heavily visible.

The base melted more than a bit as well, so I had to try and salvage it and used some tumbled glass shards to make it look more "explody" but I'm not loving the effect. Her face. The eyes are on the third try at least. I just didn't get small enough brushes, then had problems with the paint being too thin once I did have approiratly sized ones, it was just not working at all. It's not terrible I suppose, but all I see are the flaws. I'll do better next time, but my husband likes it, and that's what counts since it was a present for him.
