Petals X Metals GB: Happy Egg Girl "Rei Hazumi" + 54cm Morser Karl 041


This is for a joined group build co-organized by SMM and Pla Zone. The concept of the Gb is to build n present something to show the contrast of the warm, soft, n smooth characteristics of a female to a cold, hard, and rough of a metal.

The kit I have chose for this group build is a Hasegawa kit: The 54cm Morser Karl 041 with a Egg plane girl, Rei Hazumi, resin figure.

Honestly I am not sure what Hasegawa had in mind when they release this kit, except to jump in the bandwagon of this recent craze of anime girl combine with real world military machine; like Kancolle.

The Karl is a plastic injection kit, 1/72; the girl is a resin figure, 1/24. However, this doesnt look like Hasegawa just packing their ex stock and resell them becasue all the plastic for the Karl is indeed, moulded in pink color.

For this kit, I am merely doing OOB build. My several projects last year that forcing myself to "dont-give-a-fark-just-enjoy-it" does works well here. I did this with zero stress at all and i truly enjoy every bit of it.

Probably the only thing is slightly different from the original is the pink/purple/magenta I am using. Find it a little challenging while trying to make the color dark enough to give the white a bice contrast, but yet still need to maintain the color being kinda anime like.
Main colors are finisher's foundation white, Finisher
s paint, flurescent paint, and pearl powder.
