Perfect Cell is a resin kit I'm actually working on, I take it with me, for practice, and fun...
I got this Resin kit figure in 1996 or so (maybe 1995). It's from Dragon Ball Z, a TV show that has a huge success in France for, now, 25 years (if you add the Dragon Ball era, that was aired in 1987).
This resin kit is a licensed product, from a french company named FENRYLL, specialised in fantasy and role playing game. There was, to my knowledge, 3 resin kit about DBZ, Goku, Vegeta and Cell.
Perfect cell is an evil creature from the future. He came to absorb the perfect bodies of the Red Ribbon Cyborgs, to complete him and allow him to evolve. His only goals are power and destructions.
I pick him up some weeks ago and thought it could be a quick and easy project since it's 1/12 scale, 3 parts only, and that I think I mastered the acrylic citadel paint well now (good choice of colors, very cartoony, perfect here, with a quick dry ability). I even try some old school paint, with a yeallow and green fluorescent color from Arkham (this society no longer exist).
Here are the first pictures.
The figure is really what show the photo. No trick here, no beautiful illustration that is no match with the kit. The colors are the good ones but I would have been happier with a photo of its back since I don't have any references for its tail. Sometimes its yellow, sometimes its flesh tone...
The figure has a static pose, though a cool one. Maybe with the wrong proportions, but very well done. All the details are fines, the body is complete, all I had to do is remove the mold lines and prepare the "wings" parts. It's a perfect fit, but I will glue it later, to allow me some correct and easy painting.
The stand is not what I attend to this DBZ chapter. I will certainly change it for a more desert and sand cloudy one... His stand though would be perfect for Songoku.
Some primer first but it didn't go well. The coat was thick and pealed out.
Don't understand this reaction since I did the very same thing with Goku.
So, a good acetone bath and here he comes back in all its glory... You see here the sandy stand I choose for him. It was for my Scratched Gonk Droid but it suits better for Cell.
Some quick and crude paint, for fun, before leaving Paris...
Stay tune since CELL as in the anime, evolved a loooooot ! Bwahahahahahahaha !
