I used Tamiya flat flesh. Probably didn't help that I hand painted it, so I didn't thin the layers down. This was my very first kit I built, so it was a learning experience XD But I still love her. 

Here's the pic of how she came out: starfiregurl26.deviantart.com/…

aah theres the problem Tamiya flat flesh is way to orange you have to mix it down with white, also its not realy fittet for brushes more for Airbruches, try Vallejo colors or Games workshop next time  

well for yery first GK she is not bad also she is not a beginner GK.

Yeah, I didn't think to add white to the mixture at all. Ohhh ok, didn't know that. I will make note of that and the paints you mentioned!! Thank you for the advice, I truly appreciate it!! 

Aww thanks No she isn't!! I had a kit of her that my friend gave me, but it wasn't made of resin, it almost felt like plaster. You dropped any part of it and it was broken. So I got this one instead because I was determined to finish the kit. I kinda wish I could take her apart and rebuild her properly since I have learned so much from first building her.

Oh wow really? How did you take them apart? Very gently I assume XD I'm just afraid I would break parts. I would leave her wings since I love how they came out, just mostly change her. Nice!! XD She looks amazing too

Probably was. I tried my best to fix and sculpt parts of necro's wings, but nothing was happening. I would fix one part only to have another break. I got rid of it once I got the new one.

I took her apart piece by piece, some parts had to soak in Acceton a few minutes  than the glue fell apart

Ahhh gotcha! Makes sense depending on the glue you used. My dad and brother used to use oven cleaner (the lemon kind) to strip their models of the paint. It worked really well for some reason, but smelled SUPER strong! I'll keep that in mind
