Poyoyon Rock: Hina-chan garage kit My first ever kit, and really my first ever serious foray into painting. Water-based acrylics. It's an original (not recast) of an Akio Watanabe aka Poyoyon Rock character, Hina-chan.  I believe she appears in some of his doujinshi... not sure where else.  Dunno too much about it, it was on sale somewhere and I like Poyoyon's designs. That yellow & blue lighting is actually painted on.  I wanted to see if I could simulate colored lighting in a garage kit (similar to some light baking work I was previously doing in Second Life).  My plan for this kit was to try everything I could think of, airbrushing, drybrushing, masking, experimenting with special effects paints and generally going off the intended color scheme in order to make mistakes and learn.  Many mistakes were made, some pieces were lost (e.g. the accessories) but at least it turned out ok.
