Finally made a bit more progress on this beauty. It seemed like every time I moved on to another area...I found something else to re-sand or fix to my liking....lol. Worked on her collar more. I wanted it to look like it was fitting around the ring. Started by adding a little putty (that didn't work well), then went to using some left over plastic.

Here's what they look like painted. Once I finally attach them I'll add more pics.

As usual...did some jumping around, and put together her jewelry accessories. The red gems will be part of her ear rings. The blue and gray gems I'll use for her rings.
Image

Finally moved on to actually getting her painted. I still have a lot more to do.... More to come!

looks like this kit had alot problems for newer kit like my old John Wright Vampirella..
So many pin holes and air bubbles. and weak parts..
She's primed..finally..

Back with the final pics of this completed kit. Hopefully everyone following has enjoyed this from start to finish? Many thanks to everyone who have responded, and to all involved in getting this kit out to "us" the builders. The sculpt is amazing (RVB) you're a Michelangelo in modern times! I also want to thank everyone behind the scenes at the CH. The opportunity you offer to post, share, and learn is appreciated!

Nice job!
In the finished pictures, in the picture of the entire collection in the case, what is the kit in the back on the bottom shelf of the girl wearing what appears to be chaps with her right hand on a cowboy hat?

Thanks!
The statue in question is Humberto Ramos' sexy pinup cowgirl. 1 of 6 prototypes were produced in 2009 by Rabia contagious collectibles a company owned by Humberto Ramos, Francisco Herrera and Jorge Infante; and sculpted by Ed Espinosa. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one. All I had to do was create the custom base and add a few accessories. Thanks again resin addict :)

Your mods really improved the kit.
I like the addition of the jewels.
Great job, I love seeing the process you took.
