Zapan

It’s been almost 2 years since the Alita movie was released and think to make Zapan while received the Alita figure from Hottoys recently. As there are not too many Zapan figure and official illustration can be found, I have tried hard searching many movie photos online, but still cannot find enough reference to sculpt. The most hardest task for this work is to sculpt the mechanical robot body and complex tattoo at the back body.

With better quality of 3D household printer and resin , there are almost no layer lines in the artwork surface and less polishing work is required, so no grey priming and going to apply the black color directly before painting for this heavy mechanical detail body. The artwork features with interchangeable face (arrogant and torn face) and hand ( the sword can be interchanged by Hottoys Alita version) .

Black and silver plated color with heavy metallic tone are the most iconic, symbollic element for Zapan. Black priming for whole body at the beginning with silver plated color for mechanical robot body, then paint the remaining skin part. it’s quite a big challenge for painting the tattoo in light grey color at the armor surface (need much patience and high concentration within the whole process) . With high distinguishing contrast on black and silver plated color as main color tone, it is not too hard complete the painting task even for beginners . Hope you guys will love it too.
