Being the music enthusiast that I am, that Yuki figure would be a very welcome edition to my bookshelf, or even next to the stereo.

Her signature witch outfit combined with the embracing of her guitar is just too awesome.

And heck, Shamisen is included too.

I believe the next wonderfest is at teh end of thins month, sow we might start seeing castings and resins ready for preorder as early as March.

But, as E-E said, it'll prolly be May before we get he kits in our homes. amybe mid-late april if there's a big enough demand

I found this while checking on the ASOS Brigade MySpace promo site (Haruhi figures were being advertised there with Mikuru being the present star attraction).

http://www.hobbylife-tv.jp/newswatch/070122news.html

Some hobbyists may appreciate these detailed videos of new figure releases from GoodSmile Company, distributor of high quality figures and other anime/manga merchandise. While knowing some japanese would be an asset to view, a picture is worth a thousand words.
And a video could be worth more again.

(Note that the videos can take a while to load.)

wow you have individual parts for the shorts, your gonna have fun putting that together

Lord Il · « **Reply #25 on:** February 26, 2007, 02:57:13 PM »

Awesome.
I appreciate the scans too.

I'm sure it won't be a walk-in-the-park to detail and assemble. O_O

This is really making me want to buy some airbrushes to try something like this out in the future. The price on such a kit would need to be reasonable though since I'd be scared to death on accidentally destroying it in the build. ^^;;

www.e2046.com i go there for everything models, paints and tools. picked up the airbrush and compressor off Ebay.

Asahina resin also from Bubba who did the haruhi bunny, space idol yuki and the mage guitar Yuki:

and chibi Tsuruya:

well my attempt at priming my Yuki has failed, looking into why.3 possible reasons:

1.need the mr hobby base white 1000 spray can rather than using it thro the air brush.
2.Need a good brand airbrush like iwata
or
3.somethign else, lol.

gunna strip em and start again, heres some pics to show how bad it turned out:

Lord Il · « **Reply #29 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:23:02 PM »

The only way to learn is by doing, so don't sweat it, e-e.

It seems that the paint either went on too thick or else it needed to be filtered out first? Maybe both?

I think that your airbrush should be able to do the job. Just experiment with getting the paint at the correct consistancy to spray easily with. And use very light dust coats.

Good luck! ^_^
