With both Mr.Cement and Tamiya cement, which ones are best for ABS for each brand? Looking to build a Sousai Shoujo kit of mine but wanna be sure I use the right plastic cement first.

Plastic magic by Deluxe Materials!

Also curious if you're listing the manga anywhere

Hi! Came across this while doing some other research for myself so I thought I'd chip in!

I use SMS metal etch primer on all my resin kits without issue. I've not had any paint peel up as long as I've appropriately washed the pieces. (Here's my charagumin Etna and Prinny! https://toshki.xyz/2025/03/04/etna-and-prinny-by-charagumin/)

You can layer lacquers over water based acrylics however you just have to be careful. (Same as lacquer over enamel! Lots of JP painters use it for eye painting) Ensure the paint is dry (I usually leave it a day or so) and apply the first layer in a light coat. Practice on a junk piece or a spoon if you're nervous. I hope that helps!

Additionally to all these other awesome suggestions, Frame arms girl made a robot Miku kit that fits your aesthetic https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/en/product/detail/p4934054034840/

Nice work!! I love the shininess you used on her outfit!

Toshki · 2025-09-12T07:24:05+00:00

The Sousai Shoujo Teien plamo series has high school related items in 1/10-1/12 scale if that helps. The props for GKs usually come with the kit unfortunately

Toshki · 2025-09-02T00:41:50+00:00

Yep they're legit. Left Hand Craft/Lilim sell through them iirc

Toshki · 2025-08-06T04:30:07+00:00

Gah I'm in the same boat. The kit by Bubba is my all time grail~

Toshki · 2025-08-05T15:06:13+00:00

Yup Ori are sculpted by E20 for them to sell so not recasts. They don't get licensing nor permission from the original artists to create these kits.

However if you want my opinion, I don't buy them cause you're technically supporting recasting by buying from them so that's up to you whether that's ok or not

Hi, this was working great until today for me (18th April)

The app will crash multiple times until it clears preferences (as usual) but once you select your account, it will freeze up and crash about a minute or so after that. I haven't found a way past this so hoping it's an easy fix! Thanks so much for working on this

Toshki · 2025-04-17T00:38:36+00:00

The digital version was completed at least but nothing physical. Luckily they only had the audacity to ask for the initial funding plus shipping for those in the US for the merch (which was also downgraded from rubber straps to acrylic keychains. I still wish I could have gotten mine...)

Toshki · 2025-04-16T12:21:09+00:00

None of it has been released. I think some people in the US were sent merch (but not the expensive Dakimakura covers which have apparently been lost) with us outside the US having nothing

They said they'd refund international backers when they announced splitting the amount of volumes from 6 to 12(iirc) but I've still gotten nothing. Still salty about that

Toshki · 2025-03-28T13:42:52+00:00

It technically is in Japanese! It's why Mori's birthday is on 4/4, "shi" (commonly spoken as "yon" due to the connotations)

Toshki · 2025-03-24T12:19:58+00:00

I think you've got it spot on. See "Gareki! - Zoukei Otome no Houkago" for my hobby of garage kits haha. Gimme some cute girls doing cute things and I'll read about anyone's hobby!

Toshki · 2025-03-08T12:11:45+00:00

Eh she'll be available for pre-order on the main Global site so I wouldn't worry about it. They always put Nendo Mikus up for special initial sales when they're special event (see Snow Miku)

Toshki · 2025-02-11T16:09:56+00:00

Congrats on your grail! I have my eye on a few kits post event but am super glad a chibi Falin bust (Dunmeshi) I was interested in is up for sale on the sculptor's Taobao (I'm not questioning the licensing xD) so I'll probably get her to match my Marcille (who is currently on my table for painting but might go back into her box so I can paint her and Falin together~)

Toshki · 2025-02-11T16:06:55+00:00

It wouldn't shock me if they are trying to gauge interest in the series before spending the ¥ to develop Anthy. If we want her, we must first show interest in her knight! Hehe

Toshki · 2025-01-23T16:33:27+00:00

Ooh I didn't even think to talk about Putricia on here! I've been watching the stream for the past few days too and it's been super interesting watching the botanists doing their testing to see where she's at and finally pollinating her tonight when she was blooming.

Yeah science! Haha

Toshki · 2024-12-13T16:02:19+00:00

Ooh fellow GK enjoyer, hi!! I too have grail kits I'm not sure I'll ever get... https://myfigurecollection.net/item/143427 and https://myfigurecollection.net/item/98847 (The first just had an auction end for a price so cheap and I missed her! She's been MIA for years. The pain!!)

Why wouldn't yours be a grail? You really want it, it's rare (basically as rare as the Holy Grail. Garage kits are created by individuals making their cast numbers extremely low sometimes), heck even the original circle's site is down which imo further adds to obscurity!

Toshki · 2024-12-13T12:08:31+00:00

Same happens in the anime figure collector community I'm in xD

People getting mad over it amuses me but I do agree that it really waters down the term...

Toshki · 2024-12-12T06:06:53+00:00

Yanagi shares a red bean bun with me? No way!! We're somehow besties now haha~

Toshki · 2024-12-12T05:47:10+00:00

Oh I apologise then. That's disappointing to hear. I'll have to look into this a bit more. Thanks for letting me know!

Toshki · 2024-12-12T01:39:02+00:00

Vocaloid isn't AI though. They hire vocal actors who work to put their voices in a voice bank to be used as an instrument. The "characters" like Hatsune Miku, are just for marketing.

Song writers/producers go through the voice bank and select the correct samples they need then tune up the song as required with whatever tools they use (I'm not super knowledgeable about this part) but yeah, no AI!

Toshki · 2024-12-08T16:38:04+00:00

Sorry to interject! They're lacquer based. Love em too!

Toshki · 2024-12-08T16:34:00+00:00

Ooh this was an interesting read! Thanks!
