Figurerise Diver Ayame


This musume kit was voted for by my Patrons back in August 2022. Apart from the white stripes on the thighs there really isn’t much detail painting needed, and things were mostly going smoothly on this build – except when I accidentally fused the shoulder joint whilst I was trying to fix the seam :S . I ended up having to use the spare shoulder parts from the base “Figurerise” runner. These have some peg holes intended for slotting armour over, so I had to putty these up and I’m not entirely happy with the end result.

This was yet another kit which crapped out on my during the photoshoot process, one of the eye decals kinda just cracked and fell off so I had to cut the shoot short before I could get the all the poses I wanted.
