Gokufan's Celestial Genesis Twilight
Assembly and Priming
Official photo of assembled TwilightNote: I hadn’t decided to make a blog when I did this step, so the above photo is from the Celestial Genesis website, not my own model.
Assembling this model was a breeze. The mold release came off easily after a 1 hour soak in warm water and Simple Green. Most joins were large, well keyed and fit together snugly. Mold lines were very subtle and there was very little flash. The one casting error I noticed is that her top left arm had a small notch but no socket for it to fit into. A minor problem since I pinned her four rear arms anyway. I assembled her completely aside from her two bells, as they seemed somewhat fragile.
The integral base is quite small, about the size of a penny, and she stands on it on her toes so there’s only really room for one good pin up through her toes. I added another shallow pin the base to keep her from rotating, and stuck the model on a large cork for painting.
I zenithal primed her with an airbrush using Stynlrez black, grey and white.
