part 2

Kamisato Ayaka is finished... Despite a few difficulties, I'm satisfied and have learned a lot again. I'm glad I didn't give up.

That's perfect. I have a beard, too, but no curls.:violin:

Unfortunately, I realized too late that I should have printed the “background color sheets” on regular 80g printing paper; then everything wouldn't have turned out so thick (hair and fabrics) and would have been much easier to work with. I've learned something new again.

Part two

The body is done; now for the “accessories.”

Part two...

Except for the hair, etc., the head is finished. The neck still needs to be adjusted. I cut out the eyes in two different sizes, applied foil to the smaller ones, and glued them onto the larger ones. The result: they shine. Next up is adding the hair.

I've added a few more things; now it's time to work on the face. I have ten templates to test, since I want to try creating the eyes using transparent film—so I'm testing the films. I wasn't satisfied with the results when I tested them with clear varnish.

The right hand is done for now—on to the left...

I don't have any sins left; here you can atone for them... And let's do the whole thing all over again.

Start the Arms and Hands

The body is now mostly finished; assembling it “from top to bottom” definitely went better. I added internal reinforcement to the joints. Now I'm moving on to the arms...

I call it “paper fever”... I just can't stop thinking about this model. I've now realized that it works better to work “from top to bottom”—the original instructions aren't always the best. Just the chest and the back left to go, then the upper body will be finished, and I'll move on to the legs.
