Second Garage Kit – GP03 Osaka

Posted in: Garage Kits

Now, this is the garage kit that started it all for me.  Osaka from Azumanga Daioh.

At first I didn’t know that this is a parody of a Gundam, but it is  funnier when comparing the the actual representation.

I didn’t glue everything into place.  I left it into 4 pieces, so I can take it apart if anything happens.

I left the fan glossy to depict it as plastic.

I didn’t glue the propeller, so you can blow it and it spins!

After comparing this kit and my first kit, I want to fix the colours for the first one.  I left it glossy because the original is glossy, but a lot of people didn’t like it

White pantsu.

I am pretty proud of this figure as it looks a lot better than my first one.

ONLY if the hair piece didn’t chip off.   I kinda glued the face a bit to the side and  it doesn’t look centered.

I find her skin tone to be a bit lighter.  Kinda looks weird because of that.  You can’t tell from the pictures, but the skin tone is VERY pale.

I used up a lot of thinner for this model.  In addition, I am also low on primer.  I hope I have enough of both to finish off Motoko.  I don’t want to buy new bottles and only use a bit.
