Here is Studio McVey’s resin kit “Beauty and the Bot.” It’s a little larger than 1/48 and comes in about 7 parts. When I first saw this, I was reminded of all those 1950’s comic books and movie posters I grew up with.

I tried several times to get a translucent look tot eh woman’s gown, but was not happy with the results., I chose a purple with blues for shadows and highlights to coordinate with the cooler colors of the robot. It is painted in Vallejo acrylics and ModelMaster Metalizers.

The base was custom made by John Jeffries of Long Island.

Oh, very cool! You come up with the neatest stuff AJ.

Love the robot, looks like he’s got a kinda Maximilian armour thing going on there.

And great job on the young victim (or is the robot rescuing her? I like to think he is). I like the contrast between the dark gown and her fair skin. Only thing I’d change is I’d have painted her as a brunette [;)].
