I wanted to keep it simple and not overdue any customizations especially since I’m so new to this lol. I started with cleaning the areas where the pieces were attached to the kit itself. I also payed attention to apply shoe polish to any specific areas I couldn’t clean up to perfection, to heighten the weathering. I used my exacto knife to apply superficial cuts into the armor to give a “battle look” and also allow the shoe polish to penetrate deeper than its other superficial layers. The “whip” can be applied as a tail and a weapon. I chose to use it as a weapon to showcase all the different points of articulation and how deadly of a weapon it truly is. I also weathered the whip with the same process. I struggled with how I wanted to showcase this figure, but I knew I wanted the unique look of the whip to be a center point of the shot. I wanted to shoot with either water or sand to give a dramatic feel of the whip. After trying out both I ultimately enjoyed the look of sand and how they complimented each other. I’m very pleased with how this build turned out and my shot! This being my first time I had a lot of fun doing this. Especially during this time of quarantine!
