Disappointed No More

Continued from my previous post regarding my disappointment with my Figma Yomi.
As you can see below, I've fixed the defects on my Yomi with a bit of painting. It's amazing how handy a Gundam Marker (or 2 of it) can be. ^_^
I've painted the white trim on the collar with white Gundam Marker and painted over the white stains on the collar and the shoulder with black Gundam Marker.
Did the same on the other side.
And with the hair.
Not a perfect result when you look at it in person, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. Hopefully I don't have to do this TOO often with my other figures.
Totally unrelated but have you guys read my post of this week's Meme of The Week?
*shame on me. ^^;
Great job on the painting!!
At least it won't look as bad as before...
Thanks. It's been a while since I've built and painted a model kits. I was afraid that I might mess it up.
it looks perfect on my eyes
Unless you see it in person.
Congrats on the fix! It's weird that the paint would come off though. Is Yomi's sera fuku that flexible plastic material?
Only the collar and the skirt.
Not bad ! Its definitely better than it was before with all the paint missing right ?
Thanks. Yes, it's a lot better now.
wouldn't even be noticed if you hadn't posted about the damage previously!!
Great Job!
o.O
Thought that I'd shared with everyone, especially with those who own or about to own Figma Yomi. just a little warning for them.
Nice work!
Thanks. ^_^
glad to see you got it fixed! do they sell those joints aftermarket?
Not that I known of, but I don't think they sell those joints separately.
Nice fix. :) Gundam markers, may try it one day if one of me Figmas start chipping off paint.
Wish they release hand options for sale. Nagato's Guitar neck holding hand is starting to snap. . . so, I can't remove it from her arm lol
:D
That would be nice.. I got 2 hands and a shoulder broken.
Shoulder would've been an easier fix if they were like Revoltech, hehe.
But I just super-glued it back. Yuki isn't moving that one much anyways, with her guitar.
i just upgrade them with 1/144 gundam arms.
And turn her into my Cosmic Break lolibot!
Oh right.. Beta ends this weekend D:
thanks for the tips cos the same thing happened to mine just now i checked.
Glad that I could help.
