The second one is using a bootleg Figma She: Next. This was an absolute pain in the ass to work with, the proportions were mostly decent but the bootleg quality was disastrous. The neck looks really fat as well for some reason. I made this one afterwards so managed to fix up the skin tone and also the better proportions allowed me to match the detailing a bit better.
The chest piece was also made of this flexible rubber which made paint application a real problem. The primer was prone to flaking off as the part flexed and there are multiple tiny stress lines due to the flex giving the paint an uneven appearance compared to the matte application on the harder plastic parts.
This was my first attempt to sculpt hair as well, ended up being very difficult and the results were not the best.
QQ, Whats the best way to avoid paint chipping at the joints?
