Appleseed, super-deformed.

'Super deformed'... only the Japanese could get away with using a term like that and having it mean something cute!

Pretty self explanatory post, I just managed to finish a little Elfin vinyl kit my sister gave me as a Christmas present (so long ago I can't even guess at the year...)

TBH I really enjoyed working on this one. I haven't done too much in the realm of larger scale modelling and have to say I'd do it again!













Now all I have to do is find a 1/18 scale SD Briareos to stand beside Ms Knute and it shall be complete!

Cool!

  1. More bloggers should paint anime figures IMHO. Rather than worry about realistic blending, the emphasis is always on the bright colours and that can be a fun thing!

    1. Yeah, I'd really like to do a GunPla one of these days but the price is a bit much right now!
      I'm going to keep my eye out for a Briareos to complete this diorama - have never seen one for sale!

    2. I have a basic one you can have if you want. Still on the sprue.

  2. Beautiful work. As FourEyes says above, you've really captured the anime style. Although your wargaming roots show themselves off in that gorgeous and gritty base. Seriously, that base is grand.

    1. As always Matt, you are too kind! Thank you - yes, I only realised afterwards how 'Wargamy' my base looked - I just used the techniques I always do without thinking about whether or not they would look 'Anime' enough!
      Thank you for calling it 'gritty' That's what I always aim for with my mini's and models - GRIT!
