In the middle of prepping this model I noticed a giant gap between the parts (since I had to print the base in two separate parts). I filled the gap with putty and tried my very best to make it smooth and look natural; however, it just did not look pretty, in my opinion. So, I decided to cover up the crazy look with Kintsugi! It is a Japanese art form of repairing broken parts with lacquer and gold dust. This art form emphasizes the beauty of imperfections in something rather than ignoring them and casting them away. I didn't have laquer, but I did have gold dust and some tacky glue to mimic Kintsugi. It was my first time, but I really tried my best. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow for the top of the base, the putty didn't look like natural rock (the origial 3D renders can be found in my shop, just look up Mai), so I decided to take the risk making a fake landscape with miniature flowers, and honestly, I think it turned out amazing! I got inspired by looking up Japanese landscapes on Google, and I saw beautiful photos of these flower fields in Japan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow for her Fan, I was inspired by the design of Mai's fan in Street Fighter 6! I do play a little bit of Street Fighter 6 lol. The fan details were amazing, and I really tried my best to make the sakura flower designs look pretty but not powerfully colorful to the point where there is too much focus away from her face. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn conclusion, this was such a challenge, and it really made me open up my adaptive and creative side. I love how this model turned out, and it took me such a long time to prep and paint this model, but when I finally put the model together...I was so relieved and simply amazed by how great this turned out! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel is printed in 1:4 Scale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMODEL COMES WITH MAGNETS (except for their ponytail since I don't have magnets that are strong and small enough to fit...sorry)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SK Printing Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44448826392767,"sku":null,"price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/5183\/8911\/files\/Maiedit1.jpg?v=1754632243","url":"https:\/\/skoutletstore.myshopify.com\/products\/mai-shiranui-1-4-scale-3d-printed-painted-unassembled-with-magnets-model-designed-by-abe3d","provider":"SK Printing Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
