Hi everyone!

Today I'll tell you about a garage kit I finished all the way back last year but never got around to writing about. It's also one of those rare cases where I started working on a kit almost as soon as I received it. An original from Mandarake that I stumbled upon completely by chance—it must have been fate!

Everything is very cute and neatly done.

Let's look at the sculptor's vision for the project and the references.

That time I wasn't too lazy to put magnets in almost the entire little garage kit, even the tiniest bows! Because it looks so neat and pretty that way.

There were some mishaps, though, because at first I wanted to install a large magnet in the torso too, but something went wrong. The poor girl ended up with a knife in her liver for life (a small piece of it is still in there) and a prosthesis made from a thick pin—which is what I should have done from the start.

There's even a bow on her panties. Of course, there's no way to see it once she's assembled, but I know it's there...

The next task was to match the hair color, and I think I managed it this time :)

The contrast between the varnished and unvarnished sections:

Masks, little masks:

The skirt is its own special form of perversity. At this point I'm no longer sure the photos are in the right order; sorry

The eye—only one this time :)

All that's left is assembly.

And let's look at the finished result! The peaked cap is attached with a magnet, so it's easy to take off and put back on :3

The sculptor did a great job on the original. The casting is nice and even, there are lots of parts, and no major problems came up along the way (or else I successfully forgot about them over the past year ). Not perfect, but very, very good!

That's all from me :3 Thank you for reading!
