### Metadata ![[20170104_123936.jpg]] - **Figure:** Dark Elf 1/7 - **Completed:** 2014/2015 - **Focus:** practice skin tones ## Intro I won’t be documenting much about this build because frankly I don’t remember most of it. It was completed a couple of years ago. I believe my primary focus was on skin tones and I utilized a method documented [here at resin-kit.com](http://resin-kit.com/skin-tone-and-shading-tutorial-for-resin-kits-gks/) by mixing clear orange/pink/red tones, and I believe the result came out better over one of the off the shelf Mr. Color skin tones I have (such as that seen on [Tifa Lockhart](https://www.mechamodels.com/tifa-lockhart-18/) or [Cagalli Atha](https://www.mechamodels.com/cagalli-atha-18/)). Enjoy! ## Photos ![[20170104_123831.jpg]] ![[20170104_123850.jpg]] ![[20170104_123906.jpg]] ![[20170104_123919.jpg]] ![[20170104_123927.jpg]] ![[20170104_123948.jpg]] ![[20170104_123956.jpg]] ![[20170104_124005.jpg]] ![[20170104_124017.jpg]] ![[20170104_124054.jpg]] ![[20170104_124109.jpg]] ![[20170104_124118.jpg]] ![[20170104_124138.jpg]] ![[20170104_124150.jpg]] ![[20170104_124153.jpg]] ![[20170104_124241.jpg]] ![[20170104_124245.jpg]] ![[20170104_124302.jpg]] ![[20170104_124316.jpg]] ## Lessons Learned Looking back, it’s a little hard to say, but one thing I wish I had spent more time on with this model was sanding the resin to get it smooth. It’s a little difficult in tight places around the head/face, but I think for female figures in the future I need to give it a better effort.
