GFR Leia

After taking a few days breather after finishing good ol' Chuck, I picked out Leia, a recent pickup from JersyFest, as the next bust. This is a very nice model from Good Fellas Resin.
I figure with her costume white, and her blaster black (according to the pics) all I really need concentrate on is her face.

Time to clean. It is a very nice kit, but there was some very thing seam lines that need to clean. Also here and there it looks like there was some grow lines from the 3D printing process. It wasn't everywhere, just here and there. Some of the grow lines actually help out as it looks like the pattern in the fabric!

I sprayed the body with a gray primer to make the seams stand out and just went on from there.

Cleaning the seam down the gun with it's ridges was the hardest to clean

Leia/Carrie likeness was said to be hard to capture. Good job here.
 This tool is used to help make panel lines on planes etc... It cuts out thin ribbons of plastic. Here it helps define hair strands. You can get one from Micromark.

Check back for part 2. Thanks for looking.
