The kit was finished a few years ago, the long-in-completion diorama is finally done. (sort of) I still need to make an ice chest and a napkin holder. Most of the Re-ment pieces are not cemented and have been since removed. More details of the kit will follow. For now, the pics will be my...

A simple cafe corner diorama using a pine base; stained balsa strips for the floor, window and door frames. Foam core boards make the walls which are finished with 3/16 inch (.188) styrene strips. The window itself is made from clear plastic and was a pain to make; it is actually sandwiched...

Finally done with some modifications. I cut off the tassels along the bottom of the skirt/sarong; a couple of them were already broken and I did not feel the effort to glue them back was worth the time. Diorama to follow........sometime later when I have time. The second photo is from...

I have no idea about the name of this kit. All that I can tell you is that it is a piece sculpted by Bome, and that it was a cold cast Thai resin that was hell to work with, especially when sanding. Other than the colors, I changed the leggings to see-through stockings. The kit itself is...

Yup, this is the same kit that was in the classroom. This time she is waiting at a bus stop. The entire base and seat was made of plaster of paris and Celluclay, while the bus shelter was constructed from balsa, Plastruct and what looks like half of a corrugated board. Numerous washes "dirty...

A rather simple park scene with Ruri walking away from a peaceful, prepared lunch. Plaster of Paris secures the 1/8 scale kit and the balsa wood bench -I actually made a trip to the local hardware/garden to check out an assembled version. Scenic powders and intermittent field grass bundles...

This kit is the epitome of "The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat." At 1/3 scale this Bome sculpted figure was easy to prep, putty, sand and paint. Finding diorama parts to fit were also easier to find. The result was a simple diorama that was to resemble an outdoor beach shower...

This is another one that was a gift and is no longer with me. The kit was a large 1/6 scale version of Hoshino Ruri from the series "Nadesico." It came with two options for the hair -pig tails or the bangs version seen here. The kimono had etched flower patterns that were puttied and sanded...

This 1/8 Kashiwagi Tizuru character from the series "Kizuato" is the second one of its kind that was put together. I no longer am in possession of this kit as it was a gift for someone. I will try to photograph the other kit and diorama....its somewhere in the house. Basically this is...

A 1/8 kit of Arima Yuzu from A-brand done with "eyes open" option rather than the one with the eyes closed. The entire diorama sits on a thick piece of Plaster of Paris -that took forever to sand level. The small sitting area was made of balsa and stained with Colonial Maple from MinWax...

A slightly larger scale character from the series "Love Hina" originally produced by Musashiya some years ago. I decided to give her a "tropical" feel and place her on a make-shift shack overlooking the beach. The shack was put together using bamboo pieces for the frame, held together with...

Actually had some time to do a diorama before works begins again. The "earth" base was made from florist foam that was cut, shaped, sanded, sealed with glue, primed and painted. The rocks are molded Plaster of Paris. Woodland Scenic powders and twigs from my back yard cover the base and "not...

A small 1/8 figure of Tachibana Ichika from the 2004 anime TV series "Uta Kata." The kit itself is resin, sculpted by Keiko and released through Kurushima. Sixteen parts make up the kit. I wound up filling and sanding some of the parts in order to eliminate some of the adornments. Otherwise...
