Gokufan's Celestial Genesis Twilight
Bells and cleanup
The main thing left to do at this point was to attach and paint her bells. I primed them grey and attached them to the sockets in her fingers. I was a bit worried that they’d be difficult to glue in but they actually went on quite easily. Still quite fragile though!
After attaching them I painted them in the same manner as her other metallic costume pieces. I also painted the charms in her front arm wrappings and the lump of green stuff hanging from her her front hands. I still might end up just removing that bit…
The bells have characters engraved in them, so brushed on some gloss coat and used some hull red with flow improver to color in the grooves, then I highlighted them a bit more. This is on the ragged edge of my brush cotnrol abilities so they didn’t come out too stunningly, but I think it’s better than just ignoring the engravings.
After this I went back and cleaned up a few places where I had accidentally gotten splattered some paint and fixed a few other small errors. Then I wrapped the base with cling wrap and hit with a coat of gloss varnish followed by a coat of matte varnish.
Done! I’m going to post the finished pictures in their own update after this one so they appear at the top of the project. If you’re reading this post right after I publish it check back in an hour to see the finished product.
