1/8 World is Mine Miku

I thought about buying the PVC version multiple times and in the end I never did. But I liked the frame idea so much that I caved in and brought the gk version two years back. I’m still not a 100% sold on this figure but I prefer her over the more muted original colors.

Nendoroid Mai v2

I know I’ve never posted a gallery of v1 but rurah, the modeler of this adorable figure has sent me the first prototype which I built and painted. Now after some adjustments on her design, here’s the second and final version of Nendoroid Mai! It took me a long time since building 3D printed models means the complete surface has to be sanded. You might still be able to see the characteristic layer structure here and there if you pay really close attention but in general, it shouldn’t disturb the view. Here’s her gallery!

1/8 China Dress Taiga (Purazuma Houriki Mokei)

I love Abira’s Toradora kits and this Taiga kit here has been on my wishlist for a long time. She was released as a PVC but I didn’t like the paintjob so I had to hunt her garage kit version down and do it myself. She comes with another pair of thin twin-tails but the parts don’t fit so I’m keeping her with the hair buns until I have the nerve to improve the parts (i.e. never). She was modeled after an artwork and I’m still searching for the matching Ami.

1/6 Maya Kumashiro (Tsukuyomi Craft)

I’ve had a long-ish break from building garage kits due to the cold weather but since NebuK built me an indoor airbrush station, I’m as active as ever! My last batch of prepped kits includes Maya, one of my last commissions. She doesn’t have many parts but the ones she had didn’t really want to fit together so there was quite some putty work involved. Hope her commissioner likes her!
