Moar Botune Fun

So, I found line art of this guy. Which means it's a really bad resin kit of the Aura Phantasm Botune. x.x The line art is a bit tiny though, can't find any bigger. But I'm trying to base mods on it. (Though the resin kits feet are all wrong... Among other things.)

Early sculpting work. Probably need to work on the torso a little bit, but it's certainly looking better.

Added thingies to the legs, too. They look a bit off, will probably work on them more soon.

Arm pointy bits and other leg.

Toes restored! :3

And last but not least, a prototype idea for a wing. The final wings will hopefully look better. Probably a slight bit longer, too. Wish I had thicker plastic for these though, I think it would look better.

Botune Resin Kit Fun Tiem

I'm not sure the origins of this kit, it is supposedly an original. But the cast is so poor. :( I still have no idea how it's supposed to be posed so I'm just trying to make it look good.

I suppose it's not so great since the date on the kit is 1990. He's 1/72 scale though he seems sized more like the 80s kits which seemed too tiny to be 1/72. I could be wrong though.

So far I've sanded seams and puttied some areas to try and make the surface even. As well as pinning, but I'm not very good at pinning....

This came with the kit, and is pretty much the only thing that proves it's an original. Googling H Katayama and such got me nowhere, though.

Superglued together from a few months ago. Trying to figure out the pose, but it's just poorly posed. My plan is to make sure I have a good looking pose before gluing him together for the final time.

Bad cast quality. x.x I've never dealt with this stuff before, so knowing my luck I'm doing it wrong.

Horn detail not fully formed, air bubble on the tail part and bad seams. (But seams are expected in resin kits.) This will be my first time trying to add details back to a kit. Again I have no idea what I'm doing. o.o

Air bubbles in the toes, always fun.

 

How I left him. I have no idea if I'm doing this right, but eh.... gotta learn somehow. Worst case he just doesn't look all that great. Not my fault. :P Gonna do the best I can, though.
