FATIMA AUXO
(PLASTIC STYLE)

1/6 scale resin kit released only for Wonder Festival. Sculpted by the famous Five Star Stories sculptor TOMO. I never really like how most of the FSS character figures looked. Most of the previous releases just didn't look right in terms of detailing & proportions. But the ones by TOMO were a big exception. Not only did his figures looked right, they also looked beautiful. This is the first time I tried my hands on a FSS figure, and to my surprise it had very good parts division, and rather easy to assemble.
The biggest pain comes from achieving the desired result in painting. Because the "Plastic Style" outfits were described to have a metal foil like texture which can reflect different colors under different light, it became an impossible task. It took me a while to figure out what to use for it, and the best thing I found actually turned to be nail polish. I found this one magenta color that had a metallic sheen with a slight shade of purple to it. I airbrushed chrome silver (model master brand) as a base & then coated it a few time with the nail polish. The result turned out to be more fantastic than I could have imagined. It almost looked like that area was chrome-plated!
