Shingeki no Kyojin - Levi - 5 (Flower Shop) - Progess
I made this to show the steps of the very first Garage Kit I ever made! I've made a custom figure before using my 3D printer, and I regretted not keeping pictures of my process:
(Finished 3D print)
So when I decided to do my first Garage Kit, I made sure to take photos to document start to finish. I then came here to post the pictures!
(Opening of the box, and Manga cover for reference)
(Here are the pieces after cleaning and trimming. I also started adding my first pins)
(The swords were straight rectangular pieces of plastic I had to angle cut and carve the blade lines. I had a really good idea of what they needed to look like, as I have made a complete ODM and swords cosplay!)
(Finished hand with blade, as well as beginning of his hair)
(First arm attached and blood added. Poor Levi)
(Beginning the base. I 3D printed the base and added clay to give it a foundation and texture)
(Once the clay dried, I added glue a section at a time, and painstakingly applied the fake grass with tweezers)
(End result. It came out so much better than I had hoped, and feels like real grass!)
(Blade added to hilt of sword. Back ODM gear attached as well as the sword sheaths. Paint sealed)
and one head attachment later.....
I AM DONE!!!!
Captain Levi is now ready for his new home in my soon to be built 2nd glass display case (I ran out of room in my first). It's not perfect, but honestly for my first attempt I don't think it's half bad! I am working on more 3D prints, and since Garage Kits are fairly easy to take apart and strip the paint, once I get more practice I may do just that and try to make him a little more perfect! 😋
