Calypso 

Well, this time it was not love at first sight, at least for once but complicit the transparent wings and the piece of wood I used as her base which I found at the bay where Calypso took her name it was more inspiration at first sight. If you will read through you will understand why.

The story begins nearly a year ago. One morning while I was walking on Ramla beach our finest red sand beach I found this piece of wood. After a short inspection, I could see that it had been in the water for quite a long time. I decided to keep it thinking that it would be perfect for an eventual wood scene base.

Some months ago while browsing as I regularly do for figures I encountered this insect girl with transparent wings. As soon as I saw her besides that she is a really well-sculpted figure I wanted to try out working on the transparencies of the wings even if I had never done it before. Also, I already imagined her on this piece of wood surrounded with huge leaves to truly show her 1/1 scale.

I had not yet thought of everything I want with this kit but these were the main ideas behind my working on this figure. I also already knew what her name would be, Calypso. Taken from a local legend of the Nymph Calypso we have here in my home island. Read on to know all the story.
