Wow! where has this kit been? Turns out I put it in a box to take to the model clubs "WIP Night" where everyone shows what they're working on. I guess when I got home I put it on my side table in the hobby area, without taking it out of the box. eventually the box got put on the stack, and there it sat in a box marked "Compressor"...

Putting it back on the worktable, I realized I was just a session or two from being finished.  As an important sidebar, I found this miniature painter, Sergio Calvo with a sort of unorthodox way of painting filling the base coat with lines and dots of paint - his work turns out fantastic. So I think I'll give that a try. Check him out at  the above link.

So anyway, I decided to "Calvo-ize" the hair and added numerous strands of different colors, and then glazed a red on top to bring her hair back to the more red of the cartoon. Looks OK, but I think I made the various strands to close together, and IMHO they all blended too well. Anyway IO was done, and thanks for looking .
