Well, I'm way late but I recently picked up this figure myself. Inspired by your winter-themed shoot, I did a summer one. :]

yes both sugar and salt looks better but they are a problem to use. I have thought of using styrofoam as well, but as u say they are so light. thanks anyway, i’ll try my luck finding those plastic flakes, if can’t find thn probably have to wait till christmas or try to figure out some alternative

Salt does scale better than the plastic flakes, but salt is a corrosive and salt dust may get into your camera, which you really really don’t want. Sugar is also problematic.

I got those flakes in winter. I found them with the Christmas decorations. You’ll probably not find them in retail stores again until then. You might have to go online or look for alternatives. I once tried to grate styrofoam into snowflakes, but they’re so light that they cling to EVERYTHING due to static.

The snow are plastic flakes. It’s a little coarse, but it’s better than using salt for snow. Salt would look better, but I’d hate to see what it might do to the figure.

Thanks, Edward.

And yeah, digital has cut the cost of photography quite a bit and tabletop photography really needs no special lighting equipment, so you can do a lot with just taking whatever you have and figuring out how to get it to do what you want.

I really need to get around more. Around the internet more, I mean.

You have a very nice blog and really enjoying your photo skills. BTW, your tutorial on photography figures on a budget is good. One doesn’t always need to invest a lot of money to take great photos, just be creative.

Yes, it’s a shame this figure has gotten over looked. I was quite taken with it myself, but unfortunately I passed it over for something else. ^^; I also don’t know much about this character. Although, the feel I get from the figure reminds me a lot of Madoka Ayukawa from KOR. That same projection of maturity from a young woman is there.

Nice diorama too. Adds a great deal to an already great figure.
