Figure and acrylic modeling artist @ume_k_bou writes in his Twitter profile that his motto for his craft is "free, easy, and dirty self-satisfaction", and a quick look at his works proves that to be true. One of his most recent works involves a little DIY creation to "freeze" your models to give them an aesthetic boost that can be done with the help of a 100 yen store and household items.

A simple touch-up of a case that turns your figures into cryogenically frozen warriors or prisoners!

ume_k_bou writes that he simply took a case from a 100-yen store and applied dabs of baking soda to its insides, and then placed the figures inside. The result is Fumina Hoshino (Gundam Build Fighters Try) and a Zaku (Mobile Suit Gundam) looking like a prisoner frozen in ice, or a mobile suit waiting for its combat debut.

The Zaku got some added detail with the addition of cotton.

Modeling fans online are praising the cleverness of ume_k_bou for using such a simple tactic to invent a creative scene, wondering of the possibilities they could stage as well.
