Been working on some new stuff. Kind of all over the board but I finally finished Ripley.
Here's my first real attempt at figure painting and at capturing realism in both my sculpting and painted finish.

Never far from a Cocteau Twins reference
Five years ago I was still in the GBWC scene and this was my project for the next season.
That was, until they changed the guidelines, essentially eliminating scratch building and heavy customizations from competing.
I cleaned it up and assembled it last weekend.

Poor Ravioli has been at the shelter for a long time. 💔 He's very handsome and wants affection badly, but he's prone to getting overstimulated. Posting in hopes that maybe a quiet, cat-savvy person in Vermont might see this! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Where are my fellow Gundam Thunderbolt fans?
RGM-C(G) from the South Seas Alliance. A custom concept I was passionate about for a brief period several years ago and then shelved.
The research led me to a kitbash of the 1/00 GM Ground Type and GM Quell.
