#kuwagamon

For years in my possession was an old Digimon keychain (in the shape of Okuwamon, a Kuwagamon derivative) that I salvaged from a street vendor's trash bin. It was not the greatest-looking thing, and I've been meaning to remove the mold flashing and re-paint it, which I did so just recently.

I did the repaint as I would approach painting a D&D miniature (albeit using generic acrylic paint as that's all I have on hand). The figure, by the way, was some kind of soft pliable black plastic (solid, though), and this made it hard to paint since you can't file a pliable plastic surface down to fix flashing or make surfaces smooth.

Needless to say, it's not my best re-paint job (and the figure came out darker than I wanted as I forgot to take into consideration the final black wash). But I like it better than the original paint regardless.

Interesting is that the figure has some fine details, such as a muscle definition in the legs, teeth in the back of the jaw, and details on the underside of the gossamer wings (which you can see in the photo below). Unfortunately, with the way the model was designed, a lot of these interesting details get obscured upon assembly (probably in favor of keeping the pincer claws close to the body and less out-of-the way).
