Second Garage Kit – part 1
I have picked up some motivation to work on my second garage kit. Actually it is more like my third kit, but I am going to put Motoko on hold.
Started some pinning
This kit is the reason why I wanted to build garage kit. Azumanga Daioh is still one of my favourite anime and manga, and my favourite character is Osaka. Back in the day I was looking for a figure of Osaka, and what caught my attention was this kit. Unfortunately, I later found out it was a garage kit, thus I was out of luck.
But, now I have my kit, I can’t wait till I build it up. A piece of hair chipped off. I do not remember if it came like this or I chipped it.
All ready to prime.
Damn, I didn’t notice that I bought a grey primer. I used white because I am just too lazy to coat maybe layers of paint over the grey primer.

5My Saber Lily garage kit just shipped from e2046 a few days ago ^^; I’m hoping the air brush set that I ordered from Amazon will arrive before my kit does.
BTW, what do you use to pin, and do you air brush or hand brush? On top of that, what kind of paint do you use?

6@GNdynames: Most of my kits are small. I use something similar to a paperclip to pin, but it is a bit thicker than normal paperclips.
I hand brush, air brush is too expensive. I am only planning to make a few kits, so I don’t plan on investing something so expensive.
I use Mr. Color paints. They are the toxic ones. If you don’t want toxic then go with Tamiya.
How much is your air brush? And, I can’t wait till I see your final outcome! good luck

@GNdynames air brush is ALOT to invest in IMO well for me that is
