Kevin just completed a resin kit of Stevie he got from Monsters In Motion.
I think he did a great job on it!

Hi there everyone, I would just like to congratulate Trish on a fantastic site and to say a few words about the Stevie model I did.
It took me about 3 weeks to complete and I really enjoyed doing it. The hardest thing was fitting the strings, a bit tricky to say the least. I painted it with Tamiya flat acrylics, primered it first with grey base coat. You also have to paint everything when the kit comes, it is totally off white resin. Also you have to rub any rough bits down with fine sand paper and wash after. And you have to fix the hands and forearms separate. It costs around $130 from monstersinmotion.com. I am really pleased with how it turned out, apart from the shiny jeans which was caused by me handling it too much while I was painting the rest of him. But I have recently gave his jeans another coat and it looks a whole lot better. Cheers for looking and hope y’all like it.
