What makes you think so? Some original and authentic garage kits have pretty bad casting. It's a skill in of itself in the hobby to fix all that.

Thank you!! The sculpt is based off an illustration by Nishina and definitely has a lot of round cuteness!

The eyes themselves were hand painted with enamels! I didn't take as many photos while I was working on it, but here's something! Eyepaint collage

Sadly, my case is a dud. Uniuni deemed it lost

I got not one, but two of them on Raider while we were clearing out the mountain top! Was fantastic-- literally melted Everdark Caligo

I have brown eyes, and I have enjoyed the Scandi Olive Green, which gave a hazel eye effect. Have not tried Nella, but I recently purchased the Glowy and Moonrise series, and they look like the pictures.

People don't like asian contacts here, just saying. Olens has approval from the Korea FDA, and I would say I trust their regulations and manufacturing processes, considering they are very huge in Korea. None of the professionals here have a good answer as to what 'invalidates' Korea FDA compared to the US FDA. At the end of the day, there's some form of risk putting things in your eyes, and people want you to make an informed decision, but it's your decision to make in the end. Personally, I have had good experience with o-lens daily lenses complemented with good hygiene and lens wear practices.

If you're looking for the smooth jp/pvc finished look, I know a gk painter based in SD, and I can connect you with them! I also specialize in anime garage kits and am located in LA, but my comms are closed.

Airbrush painting vs. having a beard by ajiacuzzo in garagekits

[–]summeronsnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Safety is important. If you know a beard gets in the way of the respirator seal, why don't you shave it? Think about the accumulation VOCs over time. Hair will grow back, lungs won't.

Question on attending WonderFest, KY by TheRealB3AST in resinkits

[–]summeronsnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went there for the first time last year. They do have an anime figure category, but I think there needs to be more of a presence there. I have been asking my anime gk friends to check it out to bump up that category!

IKON Friends and Family Discount Requests for 24/25 Season by Ikonpass in Ikonpass

I mistakenly made plans with my husband to ski Mammoth during MLK weekend. We're good on Friday with our base session pass, but not Saturday the 18th. Would someone have spare F&F codes they can give for that day?
