Hi everyone!

(Note: I’m posting once again just to be on safe side! I noticed that for some reason I have an option to mark this post as final however I was sure that I checked final tickbox on previous one..Well, on the bright side I can add one more thing here, so it’s not 100% the same! ^^)

This will be my final post for this challenge. Firefly is finished, and I can finally get some rest :D

As expected, it was quite a challenge — this is the most detail-heavy kit I’ve worked on so far. As for the kit itself, the most challenging part was all the masking, compounded by the sheer number of tiny details. It wasn’t so much difficult as incredibly time-consuming and tiring — although, when has masking ever been easy? :D

Cute detail I would like to highlight is that like a real firefly she’s glowing in the dark! All thanks to Gaianotes fluorescent blue green clear paint, it really did all the magic!

It was also my first time using the Mobius airbrush, but I got used to it very quickly. I did have some overspray issues that were frustrating, but as you can see, I managed to overcome them ^^

The airbrush is smooth and easy to use, and it has become a great addition to my setup alongside my Iwata Custom Micron and HP-C Plus.

I’m really happy that I took part in this project. It gave me the opportunity and motivation not only to start and finish such a difficult kit, but also to try a new airbrush that turned out to be really good!

I’d also like to thank everyone who supported me with their kind words! It meant a lot to me and helped me believe in myself a little more. Thank you so much!
