Description
Ragnarok Online Swordgirl resin figure.This was a thai recast which means there were more errors in this than there are porings in RO. It took me a while to sand, putty, and fix bent pieces before I began painting. Now I know why so many people warned me about the quality of thai recast resin kits. If I could've found this kit anywhere but Ebay, I would've gotten it there in a heart beat.
But, after all was said and done it still came out looking very nice. I am pleased with it. I have a poring figure coming in the mail that should be just about the right size to put on the base next to her. Once I get that on there I'll take some new pics and put those up.
If anyone is interested in making RO resin kits, e2046 has some for sale.

U.U where do you find Ro figures? I had seen a crusader (male) one which was to die for..but never got to where the lister bought it from :<

Also, e2046 is the only place I know of that has the RO figures available. [link]
Hobby Fan has these two kits, but they're usually in "Pre Order" status as well. [link]

If this is going to be your first resin kit, then this might be difficult. The eBay kits are usually not in the best shape. Perhaps go to e2046 and buy a different kit, build it, and learn what it's like to put together a good kit before starting on something complex like this.
However, if you insist on starting with this kit, here's some things to consider.
-Bent or misshapen parts: I used a hair dryer to heat the parts until I could bend them. If you can buy a heat gun from a hobby store, this would probably work better.
-Holes, divots, and parts that don't fit together: I used Modeling Putty to fill in major holes and joints [link] or Squadron Green modeling putty. [link]
-For sanding: Just use regular sandpaper. Start with whatever grit you need, but finish it with a 500+ grit, or else you will see scour marks.
-Paint: I used Tamiya Paints in an airbrush. [link] I suggest acrylic paint (which can be cleaned up using water). If you plan to use an airbrush, don't forget to mix a little water into your paint. Otherwise, the paint will be too thick and might get stuck in your airbrush. Generally I add 1 drop of water for 5 drops of paint.
Other than that, good luck. I hope things work out for you. Let me know when you finish the project!

I rarely play anymore, but when I do, it's usually on a private servers (currently RebirthRO). However, I did play iRO a lot back in 2002-2005, when the game was new.

For the large area, yes. I used a paint brush and a steady hand to do the eyes, most of the armor and the finer details.

Thai? 
Also, watch out for e2046... As long as you don't have any problems, they're great, but once you have a complaint, expect the cold treatment. Hobbyfan's a little slower to produce kits, but the server is way better.

If you ever feel brave and want to try making a RO resin kit, might I suggest this one...

It's cheap, but also the parts go together very well (they hide the joints, thats a good thing for beginers)
